In a powerful show of solidarity, Iran's exiled crown princess Noor Pahlavi joined tens of thousands of demonstrators in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday for a “Global Day of Action” protesting Tehran's brutal Islamic regime.
The massive rally began at City Hall and stretched for blocks, with crowds waving flags and unfurling enormous banners proclaiming “Help Is On Its Way.” Attendees carried Iran’s former official flag alongside the stars and stripes, while several held signs urging President Trump to intervene amid Iran’s ongoing crackdown on dissenters.
Noor Pahlavi, daughter of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi—who has called for global protests to ramp up pressure on the regime—took the stage to deliver a stirring address. “This is not just a protest — this is a declaration of a nation reclaiming itself,” she declared to the roaring crowd.
Pahlavi continued, emphasizing the resilience of the Iranian people: “Fear, the chief weapon in the Islamic Republic’s arsenal, is no longer effective against the lions and lionesses of Iran. Under gunfire, they rise. Knowing the cost, they rise.” Her words captured the defiant spirit fueling the demonstration.
Among the participants was Aryana Amiri, a 19-year-old from Thousand Oaks who attended with her mother. Born in Iran and having moved to the U.S. at age 9, Amiri described the event as “beautiful” and “emotional.”
“It’s an amazing opportunity to get the word out, and hopefully President Trump can help free us,” Amiri said, voicing a sentiment echoed by many in the sea of protesters united in their call for change.
