Iranians in the UK are celebrating in the streets of London and Manchester following reported strikes against the Iranian regime, as the diaspora hopes the death of Ali Khamenei will bring change and peace, even as fears remain over Iran's future.
On Saturday night, with bombs falling across the Middle East and rumors of the death of Ali Khamenei, the longtime ayatollah of Iran, spreading, the streets of north London resembled a party. Thousands of revelers filled Finchley Road, a part of London often called Little Tehran because of the large Iranian community, waving a sea of flags, many with the Lion and Sun, the flag of the Iranian state before the 1979 Islamic revolution.
