Jeremy Corbyn joins hundreds of pro-Iran protesters in London carrying banners of the Ayatollah

Jeremy Corbyn joined hundreds of pro-Iran protesters carrying Ayatollah banners in London to demand an end to ‘Trump’s wars’.

The 76-year-old former Labor leader was seen with his brother Piers Corbyn, 78, alongside regime supporters at a rally in Parliament Square on Saturday.

Crowds of activists gathered to condemn US and Israeli missile attacks on the capital Tehran and other targets across the country. Telegram reported.

Demonstrators carried banners with portraits of Iran’s religious leader Ayatollah Khamenei and the slogan ‘Choose the Right Side of History’.

While some banners read ‘Stop Trump’s Wars’ and ‘No War on Iran’, some banners flew the tricolor country flag bearing the Islamic emblem of the regime.

Demonstrators chanted, ‘Long live the resistance! Long live Iran!’ and ‘Resistance is legitimate when people are colonized!’ and ‘USA is a war criminal!’ ‘USA is a baby killer!’

While slogans such as ‘Zionism is a crime, keep your hands off Palestine’ and ‘Zionism is terrorism’ were chanted, some activists waved the Palestinian flag.

It is not known whether any arrests have been made. The Metropolitan Police has been contacted for comment.

David Polden, 85, from Highgate, north London, said:: ‘It is very dangerous for a war in the Middle East in which the USA is determined to break out.

‘I would think killing Iranians wouldn’t do them much good.’

He said it was ‘horrible’ that the regime had killed tens of thousands of Iranians in the latest crackdown on protests: ‘It’s a terrible regime, but so is America.’

Mr Polden said he thought the US and Iranian governments were ‘equally’ bad but could do greater damage because America was more powerful.

The rally was organized by the Stop the War in Iran Coalition, which called on people to rally under the slogan ‘Withdraw from Iran’.

The organization said that the real victims of US and Israeli attacks will be the Iranian people.

The statement said: ‘They will cause death and destruction in Iran and threaten a wider war with unimaginable consequences across the region.

‘We must protest this madness and demand that our Government take no sides and condemn the disastrous actions of Israel and the United States.’

The event was also supported by the Islamic Human Rights Commission, the Palestinian Jewish Network and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

It came just hours after hundreds of Iranian democracy activists gathered in Whitehall for a separate protest calling for an end to Iran’s government.

The rally was organized by the Freedom Scene group, which opposes the Ayatollah regime and supports American attacks.

Demonstrators gathered outside the Ministry of Defense in central London before marching towards the Iranian embassy.

They waved the Iranian flag in front of the Islamic regime, with a horizontal tricolor of green, white and red, with a golden lion and sun in the middle.

Other participants, including far-right activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, also known as Tommy Robinson, waved the Israeli flag.

Photos of people killed by the country’s authorities in recent protests against the regime were displayed in front of the Iranian embassy.

Many anti-regime activists support the return of the Shah or Reza Pahlavi, Iran’s former ruler who was overthrown in the 1979 Iranian Revolution.

Explosions occurred as a result of Israel’s missile attack on Tel Aviv on Saturday.

They are also calling on the British government to ban Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), an arm of the military established when the Ayatollahs came to power.

British-Iranian national highways project manager Ehsan Fathi, 45, said he had long called for the end of the Iranian regime.

But he said events in January, when nearly 36,500 Iranians were killed in a crackdown on protests, added further urgency to his fight.

Mr. Fathi said he appreciated American and Israeli intervention, which he said could weaken the Iranian government enough for the people to take back control.

Kima Mohajeran, 63, who was protesting with her husband Davood, 71, said she had seen videos of Iranians celebrating US and Israeli attacks in the streets.

He said Stop the War protesters don’t understand how the Iranian people feel.

Her husband said that he was against the war, but that he saw this war not against the Iranian people, but as a deadly regime that would allow the people to take over.

The Metropolitan Police imposed conditions on both protests.

While the Stop the War event was limited to a specific section of Parliament Square, Liberty Stage protesters were forced to disperse by 5.30pm.

Both rallies took place as the United States and Israel launched a full-scale attack on Iran on Saturday morning.

Iranian media reported explosions in Tehran just after 9.30am local time, with photos showing smoke over the capital.

It was reported that explosions were also heard in other cities of the country, including Karaj, Isfahan, Qom and Kermanshah.

President Donald Trump said America had begun “major combat operations” and called on the Iranian people to use this opportunity to overthrow the regime.

Iran responded to the attack by launching missiles at Israel and four Gulf states that host US military bases: Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE.

Countries in the Middle East have since locked down their airspace due to security concerns.

And since then, multiple Israeli officials have claimed that Iran’s supreme leader is dead.

Trump and Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu were allegedly shown a photo of his body.

According to Channel 12, “The photo of the body was shown to Netanyahu and Trump.”

‘Senior Israeli officials have been informed that Khamenei has been eliminated. Public broadcaster Kan reported that his body was recovered from the rubble of the compound where he was found.

There was no confirmation from Tehran that Khamenei was dead.

In his televised address to the nation on Saturday, Netanyahu said “there are signs” that Iran’s supreme leader is dead.

He said airstrikes had destroyed Ayatollah Khamenei’s compound, adding: ‘All indicators show that this tyrant is no longer with us.’

This follows Iran’s foreign ministry’s claim earlier this evening that the Supreme Leader and the country’s president are alive and well.

“They are all safe and sound,” a spokesman told Sky News.

Israeli media outlet Channel 12 said earlier today that unnamed Israeli sources had uncovered “growing indications” that the leader had been killed or “at least injured” during this morning’s airstrikes.

Officials have previously reported that the attacks caused “very serious damage” to the Iranian regime’s leaders and military commanders.

There has been no news from Khamenei since the US and Israel launched a bilateral attack.

Israeli sources said on Saturday that Trump specifically targeted Iran’s religious leader in the first wave of joint missile strikes with Israel.

However, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghch claimed that ‘as far as I know’ the Ayatollah was alive and condemned the attacks as ‘completely unprovoked, illegal and illegitimate’.
