More than 200,000 people rallied in Munich, Germany, on Saturday to support Reza Pahlavi and advocate for regime change in Iran, coinciding with the Munich Security Conference. The demonstrators, carrying pre-1979 Iranian flags and chanting slogans, urged global leaders to intensify pressure on the Iranian government through sanctions and intervention, according to Euronews.
