Noor Pahlavi and Yasmin Pahlavi in the anti-Iranian regime protest in Paris

A day earlier, large rallies took place in Western cities with sizable Iranian diasporas, including Los Angeles and Toronto. In Bern, Swiss police used rubber bullets to disperse protesters who tried to scale the walls of the Iranian embassy Saturday, and in the US capital of Washington, hundreds of members of the Kurdish community gathered outside the White House gates, some bearing placards calling for regime change in Tehran.
