Iranian opposition figure Reza Pahlavi called for a "Global Week of Action for a Free Iran" from July 4 to July 9, 2026. The initiative coincides with the planned burial of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and marks six months since the start of Iranian protests against the regime.

Pahlavi stated on X that Iranians across the world would gather between July 4 and 9 "to show the world the true face of Iran and to honor the eternal memory of the fallen heroes of Iran's Lion and Sun Revolution." He announced that gatherings were planned outside U.S. embassies worldwide and called for Iranians inside Iran to participate covertly, citing examples such as recording videos at grave sites and writing messages on walls.

Regarding the U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, Pahlavi wrote: "Our message to the American people and the US government is clear: stand with the Iranian people. Do not deal with terrorists. Choose the people of Iran." He also stated, "Any deal with the criminal Islamic Republic stands in direct contradiction to the ideals and values of the United States and the free world." Pahlavi claimed that over 40,000 Iranians were killed by the regime over two days, averaging 14 people per minute, and wrote, "As it signs a Memorandum of Understanding for 'peace,' the Islamic Republic just executed two more protesters from January 8 and 9." He added, "This is the consequence of making a deal with this criminal regime."
