Tens of thousands of demonstrators filled downtown Los Angeles streets Saturday as Iran’s exiled Crown Princess Noor Pahlavi led a massive rally demanding freedom for the Iranian people suffering under Tehran’s oppressive Islamic regime.
Declaring a Nation’s Reclamation
The Global Day of Action saw protesters waving flags and displaying enormous banners reading “Help Is On Its Way” as Princess Pahlavi, daughter of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, addressed the crowd. “This is not just a protest – this is a declaration of a nation reclaiming itself,” she declared to thunderous applause from the assembled Iranian-Americans and supporters.
Aryana Amiri, a 19-year-old from Thousand Oaks who fled Iran at age nine, attended with her mother and called the rally both beautiful and emotional. “It’s an amazing opportunity to get the word out, and hopefully President Trump can help free us,” she said. “They’re killing little kids, and all it takes is for one person – Trump – to stop it.”
Families Cut Off From Homeland
Nastaran Elahi, Amiri’s 46-year-old mother, revealed she couldn’t contact family in Iran for weeks after the regime severed internet connections. She described the Islamic Republic’s actions as a “massacre,” citing activist claims that approximately 7,000 Iranians have died since the government began crushing nationwide protests in late December. “If we can stop the regime, there can be peace all around the world,” Elahi pleaded.
Global Movement Gains Momentum
The Los Angeles demonstration coincided with massive protests worldwide, including an estimated 250,000 demonstrators flooding Munich streets in Europe’s largest-ever rally against Iran’s Islamic Republic. Los Angeles, Toronto, and Munich served as primary organizing centers for the coordinated global action. Southern California hosts the world’s largest Iranian-American population outside Iran, making it a natural hub for opposition activities. The Crown Prince has called for sustained international pressure to support Iranian freedom fighters challenging decades of authoritarian rule.
When is Trump going to quit posturing and actually do something to help the Iranian people.
Trump knows when he does something about the Iranians many people are going to die and he does not take that lightly and wants to make sure all other avenues are exhausted before he goes in shooting and bombing.
He’s not like Obummer who kept bombing with Drones without great strategy…even killed INNOCENT American civilians!
Hey Dementia Don, have you forgotten how PRESIDENT Trump OBLITERATED Iran’s Underground Nuclear Facilities without any Civilian Casualties…or the Flawless Capture of the Illegitimate Venezuelan Prez Maduro!
Now this is worthy cause to be protesting about!! A whole lot better than protesting against our police just doing the job we pay them to do!
Well Don, there’s the issue of the Strait of Hormuz. When cornered, Iran will most assuredly blockade the strait. This will result in an almost immediate worldwide crisis that will be totally blamed on Trump. Fully 20% of all oil and LNG passes through the strait daily. It is the single-most important energy corrider in the world, and there is NO alternative route. This blockade would trigger a Global Economic Collapse, the likes of which has NEVER been witnessed. Worse still, Iran will most likely target oil infrastructure across the Persian Gulf, destroying production facilities in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar. Bahrain and Kuwait. Consequently, their would be NOTHING left to export even IF the strait reopened, which is highly speculative. Their is nothing the U.S. Military could do to stop this, period.
These people and the nation need immediate assistance they are in dire straights and they do know it.
Whatever is available should be done ASAP.
