Reza Pahlavi stated that the Iranian regime 'has come to an end' and is about to collapse.

Amid one of the most tense weeks in the recent history of the Middle East, the king of the Persians in exile, Shah Reza Pahlavi, and a central figure of the opposition in exile, issued a forceful message against the Islamic regime: "The Islamic Republic has come to an end."

In a statement addressed "to all his compatriots," Pahlavi stated that Ali Khamenei's regime is undergoing a process of irreversible collapse. "Khamenei, like a frightened rat, has gone into hiding and has lost control of the situation," he said.

Pahlavi's statement came in the context of Israeli attacks on Iran's strategic facilities, including military bases and nuclear sites. In his message, he lamented the consequences this war has brought for the civilian population, but he was categorical in pointing out that "the end of the Islamic Republic is the end of its 46-year war against the Iranian nation."

According to the opposition leader, the regime's repressive apparatus "is crumbling," and only a national uprising remains to put an end to what he called "a nightmare." He called for action throughout Iranian territory, from northern cities such as Tabriz and Mashhad to the south such as Bandar Abbas and Shiraz, in a call for national unity in the face of the collapse of the Islamic terrorist regime.

Pahlavi also addressed military personnel, security forces, and state officials directly, many of whom, he assured, have already sent him messages of support. He asked them not to oppose the people, to abandon the regime, and to join the transition process.

"Don't sacrifice yourselves for a decaying regime," he urged, stating that those who support the people can save their lives and play a historic role in the reconstruction of the country.

The message included a key promise: the existence of a plan for the "day after." Reza Pahlavi assured that a team of experts and opposition leaders has already designed the first one hundred days after the fall of the regime, with a view to establishing a national and democratic government, "by the Iranian people and for the Iranian people."

With a closing marked by the hopeful tone that characterizes him, he concluded: "A free and flourishing Iran awaits us. Long live Iran! Long live the Iranian nation!"

Pahlavi's message comes at a time when international pressure, internal chaos, and fractures within the Iranian regime itself open the possibility of historic change.
