A U-Haul driver was detained after hitting at least two protesters during a Westwood rally supporting Iranians amid a crackdown that activists say killed over 530 people.
- On Jan. 11, 2026, a U‑Haul driver drove into a crowd during an anti‑Iranian regime protest in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles Police Department detained the driver pending further investigation.
- Organizers said the Westwood rally was staged in solidarity with Iranians, supporting Iran protests that began December 28 and have caused over 500 deaths, HRANA reported.
