Scenes from Vancouver as people from the Iranian community celebrate the U.S.-Israel attack on Iran and the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei, calling attention to the civilians killed in the Islamic Republic/IRGC crackdowns on protesters, and rallying in support of Reza Pahlavi

Indeed a sad anniversary marking the loss of a beautiful soul.
She also called Southern Ontario home for many years.

CANADA! JUST MARRIED!" with small flags of Canada and the United States attached to it. One of them is also holding a rainbow flag, symbolizing pride and support for the LGBTQ+ community. The background shows a cityscape with tall buildings and a crowd of people, indicating a public event.
