A U-Haul truck plowed into Iranian freedom protesters in Los Angeles, raising alarming questions about whether regime supporters are now targeting Americans exercising their constitutional rights on U.S. soil. The incident, which occurred outside the Wilshire Federal Building in Westwood, saw up to 3,000 demonstrators scattered as the vehicle struck multiple people. Federal authorities, including the FBI, have joined the investigation as questions mount over the political motivation and the local police’s initial characterization of the event as a mere “altercation.”
Story Highlights
- U-Haul truck drove into crowd of 3,000 Iranian freedom protesters in Westwood, striking multiple demonstrators.

Truck Plows Into Freedom Rally
On January 11, 2026, a U-Haul box truck drove directly into a massive crowd of Iranian-Americans protesting the cruel Islamic regime in Tehran. The incident occurred outside the Wilshire Federal Building in Westwood during a rally supporting Iranian protesters who have faced deadly government crackdowns. Up to 3,000 demonstrators had gathered to demand freedom for Iran when the truck struck at least one person, sending crowds screaming and running for safety.
Video footage shows the terrifying moment as families with children scattered from the oncoming vehicle. The driver displayed a politically charged sign reading “No Shah. No Regime. USA: Don’t Repeat 1953. No Mullah,” suggesting complex motivations tied to Iranian political factions. Authorities had preemptively closed freeway ramps due to the large crowd, yet failed to prevent this dangerous breach of public safety.

Mob Justice After Police Failure
Protesters immediately swarmed the truck after impact, smashing windows and attempting to pull the driver from the vehicle. The crowd’s rage was understandable given the apparent targeting of peaceful Americans supporting human rights. Police eventually extracted the driver and took him into custody, but only after demonstrators had already begun dispensing their own justice. This pattern mirrors the breakdown of law and order seen across Democrat-controlled cities when authorities fail to protect citizens.
Los Angeles Fire Department evaluated two victims, though both declined hospital transport. The relatively low injury count appears fortunate given the potential for mass casualties when a vehicle is weaponized against crowds. Federal authorities including the FBI have joined the investigation, suggesting potential terrorism or hate crime charges may be warranted against the perpetrator.
Regime Violence Reaches American Streets
The targeting of Iranian-Americans exercising their constitutional rights represents a disturbing escalation of foreign political violence on U.S. soil. These protesters gathered to support freedom fighters in Iran, where the Islamic regime has reportedly killed hundreds and arrested over 10,000 during recent uprisings. The fact that regime sympathizers may now be attacking Americans demonstrates how unchecked immigration and weak border security threaten domestic safety.
LAPD Captain Richard Gabaldon claimed officials don’t believe the incident was politically motivated, instead calling it an “altercation.” This dismissive characterization ignores the obvious targeting of a political demonstration and echoes the same downplaying of ideological violence that plagued previous administrations. Mayor Karen Bass visited the scene but focused on “peaceful protest” rather than condemning the attack on constitutional rights, typical of Democratic leadership that refuses to clearly identify threats to American freedoms.
