In Response to the Call by Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi As the regime attempts to bury the remains of its supreme criminal, Ali Khamenei, and as we mark the sixth month of the courageous national uprising of January 8–9, during the Global Week of Action for a Free Iran, we will gather in front of the U.S. Consulate in Calgary to deliver the message of the Iranian people to the American people and government on the anniversary of the United States’ Independence Day: “Do not negotiate with terrorists. Choose the people of Iran.” Together, we will also celebrate and bid farewell to the decaying remnants of the tyrant, sending them to the dustbin of history. One Nation, One Flag, One Slogan — Reza Pahlavi. Saturday, July 4 2:00–3:00 PM In front of the U.S. Consulate, Calgary Long Live Iran. Long Live the Shah.
