Crown Prince calls for 'week of action' against Iranian regime during burial of Ali Khamenei
The Week of Action will also mark six months since the start of the Iranian protests against the regime, which Pahlavi called "a massacre."
Assessment
A call for coordinated protests timed to coincide with a major regime ritual suggests an attempt to maximize symbolic pressure on Tehran's leadership. The reference to a massacre highlights the stakes for demonstrators who have already faced violent crackdowns. The coming week will test whether the opposition can sustain momentum when the state's security apparatus is on highest alert.
