A protester climbed onto the balcony of the Iranian embassy in London during a demonstration against the Islamic regime and removed the flag of the Islamic Republic, briefly replacing it with the historic Lion and Sun flag, a symbol of Iran prior to 1979. The act, captured on video and shared on social media, was celebrated by other demonstrators present. British police made several arrests, and the Islamic flag was later restored after Iran formally protested to the United Kingdom over the incident.
