Hundreds of Iranian-Americans and supporters gathered in Chicago on February 14, 2026, for a rally along Michigan Avenue as part of worldwide actions against Iran’s regime, highlighting its brutal suppression of protesters. Organized by activist Pegah Piri and inspired by Reza Pahlavi, son of the last shah, the march proceeded from Congress and Michigan to Daley Plaza, citing over 7,000 deaths in the crackdown. Demonstrators called on President Trump to intensify U.S. pressure on Tehran to support demands for regime change.
