THIS is the moment a truck crashed into a crowd of hundreds of anti-Iranian regime demonstrators.

Chaos ensued after the U-Haul vehicle drove through the protest outside a federal building in Westwood, Los Angeles, on Sunday afternoon.

Emergency services were dispatched to the scene around 3:30 PM after reports indicated that a man drove the truck through the planned protest.

The side of the U-Haul displayed signs that allegedly read: “NO SHAH. NO REGIME. USA: DON’T REPEAT 1953. NO MULLAH.”

In the video, demonstrators can be seen surrounding the van and tearing down the signs from the side of the vehicle.

They shouted insults at the driver through a broken passenger window.

At least two individuals sustained injuries and were treated at the scene, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

Firefighters also mentioned they were trying to locate a third injured person, but the size of the crowd was hindering their response time.

As police escorted the man away, some protesters attempted to strike him and hit him with flag poles, it was reported.

The truck’s windshield and windows were reportedly shattered.

The demonstration was in support of the ongoing mass anti-regime protests in the Islamic Republic.

New reports confirmed that the death toll in Iran has risen to 579, including eight children, following a fortnight of protests.

This comes as demonstrations against the regime erupt globally.

Protesters began gathering in Kensington, London, outside the embassy before moving to Whitehall, while waving the country’s old pre-Islamic flag last night.

Some demonstrators were seen throwing objects at the embassy, prompting Met Police officers to intervene to prevent trespassers from climbing the building.

Those in the crowds were also seen burning photographs of Iran’s leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Many instead held images of the exiled crown prince, Reza Pahlavi.

Crowds in Berlin, and last night chanted for the end of supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s rule.
