New images capture global support for Iranian protesters rallying against Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s oppressive regime. The Supreme Leader’s harsh crackdown on citizens has led to an estimated 2,500 deaths amid anti-government protests over economic hardships. Demonstrations in Iran have garnered solidarity from international allies demanding an end to the violence.
Noteworthy scenes depict individuals in the UK, Korea, Israel, Germany, Turkey, and beyond joining the movement to liberate Iran from its repressive theocratic rule. Some protesters are seen burning images of the Ayatollah and donning Iran’s pre-revolution “Lion and Sun” flag, symbolizing Persian royalty, often coupled with images of exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi as a potential replacement for the current regime.
In various locations like Romania, Germany, Paris, and Switzerland, protesters display support for Reza Pahlavi through placards and attire. Shiite Muslims in Pakistan, Chilean residents in Santiago, and demonstrators in Washington, Seoul, and London have rallied against the Iranian government, staging protests outside embassies, governmental buildings, and symbolic locations.
