Mass shooting of protesters in Pahlavi Iran on 8 September 1978

Black Friday was a mass shooting on 8 September 1978 in Pahlavi Iran, during which the Imperial Army of Iran killed 64 civilians and injured 205 in Jaleh Square, Tehran. According to Spencer C. Tucker, 30 government security forces were also killed. The deaths were a pivotal event in the Iranian Revolution that ended any "hope for compromise" between the protest movement and the regime of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
