On Friday, February 13, 2026, coinciding with the opening of the Munich Security Conference (MSC), thousands of Iranians, supporters of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, will gather for a major demonstration at Odeonsplatz in support of the overthrow of the mullahs’ regime by the Iranian people and their organized resistance.

International dignitaries, including John Bercow (Speaker of the UK House of Commons, 2009–2019), are among the speakers at the rally.

Ahead of the demonstration, a senior official of the National Council of Resistance of Iran will provide a briefing on the Iranian uprising and the current situation in Iran in its aftermath, based on reports from inside the country.
