Protesters attend a rally in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on February 14, 2026. Approximately 350,000 Canadians participate in a demonstration against the Islamic Republic of Iran, marking one of the largest protests ever in Toronto. The event is part of a Global Day of Action, coinciding with similar protests in major cities worldwide. Participants drape themselves in red, white, and green flags featuring a golden lion and sun, the flag used by Iran before the Islamic Republic's establishment in 1979. The rally responds to a call by exiled Iranian crown prince Reza Pahlavi to show solidarity with anti-government demonstrators in Iran and support a national uprising. Protesters express support for a change in leadership and advocate for power in Iran to be returned to Reza Pahlavi. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
