Munich police say about 250,000 people joined a rally protesting against the Islamic Republic of Iran, as world leaders gathered nearby at the city’s Security Conference. Protesters condemned last month’s deadly crackdown on nationwide demonstrations in Iran, which human rights groups say left thousands dead. Some carried banners echoing pro‑Trump slogans and held placards supporting the exiled son of former Shah Reza Pahlavi, who has urged the US president to support the Iranian people at the conference.
