While 100 odd munitions fell on Tehran, thousands of... Iranians gathered in the streets below with phone lights and flags. Massive nighttime rallies erupted across Iran overnight. Tehran’s Enghelab Square. Ilam. Abadeh. Tabriz. Zanjan. Kerman. Khorramabad. Mashhad. Bushehr. Yazd. Qom. Crowds waved Iranian flags and held phone lights above their heads in the darkness of a 504-hour internet blackout, chanting support for the IRGC and the Islamic Republic while condemning what they called US-Israeli aggression. Process the situation. The internet is off for days. The power grid is damaged. The bombs are falling. And the crowds are in the streets holding lights in the dark. The regime that cannot deliver electricity is delivering solidarity. The population that cannot see the war is choosing to be seen. These are state-organised demonstrations. That matters and it does not. The regime mobilised the crowds. But the crowds came. In a country where 80,000 buildings have been damaged, where 1,500 people are dead, where the supreme leader has vanished, where the electricity ledger has been publicly read as a warning, the streets filled with people holding lights. That is not evidence of popular support for the war. It is evidence that the regime’s survival machinery still functions under bombardment. The rallies are not about morale. They are about institutional continuity. The IRGC needs the image of crowds in the street to sustain the narrative that Iran is united, defiant, and capable of absorbing punishment. The image travels through state media channels that still operate while 92 million civilians remain cut off from independent information. The lanterns are the message. The darkness is the medium. The regime that controls the darkness controls what the lanterns mean. Full analysis:show more
