Thousands March on City Hall in Support of Iranian Crown Prince’s Global Day of Action
Reza Pahlavi, son of the former Shah, has publicly supported and called for protests in Iran and abroad to support regime change against the Islamic Republic.
The action comes a month after Iranians protested in cities across Iran for nearly seven weeks, beginning in December, which Pahlavi has publicly supported.
Protestors flew the flag of the Imperial State of Iran, aka the Lion and Sun flag. Pahlavi’s grandfather, Reza Shah Pahlavi, and his father, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, ruled the Imperial State from 1925 - 1941 and 1941 - 1979, respectively. The Islamic Revolution ended their rule and also founded the current Islamic Republic.
Some protestors carried pictures of Iranians who were jailed and killed by the Islamic Republic; others had posters asking for Trump to intervene and keep his promises with regard to regime change in Iran and Make Iran Great Again.
