As the indefinite ceasefire continues, the streets of Tehran witnessed a massive show of public solidarity and military might. Despite torrential rain, thousands of Iranians gathered to demonstrate support for the government and the IRGC, chanting slogans against the U.S. and Israel. The highlight of the protest was the public deployment of Iran’s most lethal strategic assets—the Khorramshahr-4 and Kheibar Shekan ballistic missiles—at major public squares. Defense Editor Neeraj Rajput notes that this is the first time since the war began on February 28, 2026, that Iran has moved these “war-winning” missiles into civilian areas. By placing these 2,000 km-range weapons at Vane Square and Revolution Square, the IRGC aims to reassure the public that their military stock remains intact and to send a defiant message to the West: Iran is prepared for a second round of war if the ceasefire fails.
