The nationwide uprising against the religious dictatorship in Iran has reached its tenth day on Tuesday, January 6, 2026. The movement, which began as an economic protest in the Grand Bazaar, has evolved into a full-scale political confrontation calling for the downfall of the regime. Following a volatile ninth day marked by mass arrests in Ilam and gunfire in Kermanshah, the people have returned to the streets.
On Tuesday morning, the commercial heart of Tehran once again became the epicenter of resistance. Despite heavy security measures and the use of tear gas, shopkeepers in the Grand Bazaar and the Gold Market have renewed their strikes. Simultaneously, brave youth in the provinces of Yazd and Qazvin escalated their resistance overnight, targeting the regime’s suppression centers with fire.
On Tuesday, January 6, 2026, the tenth day of the nationwide uprising marked a turning point as protesters in western Iran forced regime forces to retreat. While security forces committed war crimes by attacking a hospital in Tehran earlier in the day, the evening brought victories for the resistance.
Key highlights from today include:
Abdanan Liberated: In a historic show of force, the people of Abdanan (Ilam Province) took control of the city and occupied the police station after security forces failed to suppress the massive crowds and fled.
Tehran as a War Zone: The Grand Bazaar turned into a battlefield where youth set up barricades to fight back against fully geared security units. In Gomrok Square, the slogan “Down with the oppressor, be it the shah or the mullahs” resonated, rejecting all forms of dictatorship.
Crimes Against Humanity: Earlier, security forces fired tear gas into the grounds of Sina Hospital and a metro station in Tehran. Later in Yazdanshahr, agents switched from tear gas to live ammunition against civilians.
Forces Retreat in Malekshahi: Following a funeral for martyrs, protesters in Malekshahi overcame heavy gunfire, forcing the regime’s troops to flee the scene.
Nationwide Spread: From the nightly rallies in Mashhad and Isfahan to the unrest in Shiraz and Shahrekord, the uprising has firmly established itself across the country.
Opposition Leadership: Mrs. Maryam Rajavi hailed the “honorable bazaar merchants” and declared that the movement shows no sign of retreat, aiming to erase the regime from history.
