Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran’s late shah and a long-time exile in the Washington area, on Monday called for a global day of action on February 14 in support of the Iranian people.

In a post on X, Pahlavi urged Iranians abroad and supporters worldwide to take to the streets for what he called as the “Global Day of Action in solidarity with Iran’s Lion-and-Sun Revolution".

He outlined six clear demands for the international community to act upon: dismantle the regime’s machinery of repression, cut off its financial lifelines, ensure free internet and communications, expel regime diplomats and prosecute its criminals, release all political prisoners, and recognise a transitional government to lead Iran towards democracy.

Pahlavi named Munich, Los Angeles, and Toronto as key gathering points, but said those unable to travel should join protests in their own cities.

“The Islamic Republic’s occupying rule has tried to break our nation’s will through massacre and brutal violence. It has failed," Pahlavi wrote, referring to the recent anti-government protests in Iran, during which thousands of demonstrators were reportedly killed and the internet was shut down to limit communications.

“Yet the people of Iran still stand before bullets, raising the cry of freedom and love of country. The era of fear is over. The era of freedom is near. Iranians have risen."

Pahlavi called on freedom-loving people around the world to “rise in solidarity" with Iranians on February 14. He stressed that united action would pressure governments to respond and be remembered in history.

“To those of you who believe in Iran’s freedom: on Saturday, February 14, rise in solidarity with the people of Iran. Your solidarity matters. When we stand united, governments are compelled to listen. History will remember those who stood with the Iranian people," he concluded.
