Iran Expats React to U.S, Israeli Strikes with Gratitude; Others Condemn Strikes

Reactions among Iranian expatriates vary widely with some celebrating the strikes that killed Iran's Supreme Leader while others protest fearing escalation; rallies occurred in multiple global cities.

  • Some critics urged caution while supporters demanded regime change as Freedom4Iran organizers and Detroit protesters vowed to march every weekend for a democratic Iran and human rights.
