The king of the Persians in exile called on the Iranian people to rise up against the regime

Reza Pahlavi, son of the last Shah of Persia and a fervent advocate for freedom in Iran, urged his compatriots to rebel against the regime at this moment of vulnerability, and thus bring about its collapse from within.

“Compatriots, the Islamic Republic and its incompetent and criminal leaders have dragged Iran into war and are responsible for the current situation,” he stated in a message shared on his social media.

Nevertheless, he emphasized that “after decades of corruption, incompetence, and oppression, this regime is now at its most fragile and weakest point,” which represents a crucial opportunity for the people to finally achieve their liberation.

“Iran belongs to you, and reclaiming it is in your hands. Every act of defiance, such as not showing up to work, working less, or arriving late, can deal a powerful blow to the weakened body of this regime,” he stated, aiming to encourage citizens to join this crusade against the Islamic dictatorship imposed by the ayatollahs.

Similarly, Reza Pahlavi called on the armed forces, the police, and Iran's security agencies to “break away from this regime and join the people” at this crucial moment in history. He also called on the international community to “support the Iranian people, instead of appeasing the Islamic regime”.

“Its final collapse can only be achieved through the powerful hands of the great Iranian nation. Iran belongs to you, and reclaiming it is in your hands. Together, side by side, we will prevail,” he stated firmly.

“May Iran endure forever! Long live the Iranian nation!” Reza Pahlavi concluded his message.

Pahlavi's statements take on special significance in a context of heightened tensions, where Israel has launched multiple offensives on key targets within Iranian territory, including military bases, nuclear facilities, and strategic defense sites, resulting in the deaths of technicians and high-ranking officials of the Islamic regime.
