During the 2025–2026 Iranian protests and the ensuing internet blackout and massacres in Iran, many people across the Iranian diaspora held solidarity rallies worldwide against the Islamic Republic. The rallies have continued during the 2026 Iran war.

Reza Pahlavi also declared 14 February as a global day of action, and called for major diaspora solidarity rallies in Los Angeles, Toronto, and Munich. Iranians from neighboring countries, states, and cities drove, bussed, and flew in for the Munich, Toronto, and Los Angeles rallies. Over 250,000 attended the 14 February rally in Munich, making it the largest ever Iran-focused demonstration in European history to date, while the Toronto and Los Angeles rallies each drew 350,000 in attendance.

After the start of the Iran war on 28 February, celebratory rallies against the Islamic Republic were held worldwide, led by the Iranian diaspora.
