Hundreds of thousands join Iran protests around the world
AI Summary
On Saturday, hundreds of thousands of people worldwide participated in demonstrations against the Iranian government, answering a call for a "global day of action" from Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of the former Shah. The largest gatherings occurred in Toronto (estimated 350,000), Munich (estimated 250,000), and Los Angeles, with smaller protests in cities like Tel Aviv, Lisbon, Sydney, and London. Pahlavi, addressing the Munich crowd, denounced the crackdown on protests in Iran and expressed solidarity with those inside the country. His daughter, Noor Pahlavi, spoke in Los Angeles, urging an end to nuclear talks with Iran. The protests follow widespread demonstrations in Iran against the rising cost of living that have evolved into a broader anti-government movement, reportedly resulting in over 6,000 deaths.
