Reza Pahlavi

My dear compatriots, Decisive moments lie before us. The assistance that the President of the United States had promised to the brave people of Iran has now arrived. This is a humanitarian intervention, and its target is the Islamic Republic, its apparatus of repression, and its machinery of killing—not the country and great nation of Iran. However, despite the arrival of this assistance, the final victory will still be achieved by us. It is we, the people of Iran, who will finish this task in this final battle. The time to return to the streets is approaching. Now that the Islamic Republic is collapsing, my message to the country’s military, law enforcement, and security forces is clear: You have sworn an oath to protect Iran and the Iranian nation, not the Islamic Republic and its leaders. Your duty is to defend the people, not to defend a regime that has taken our homeland hostage through repression and crime. Join the nation and help ensure a stable and secure transition. Otherwise, you will sink with Khamenei’s ship and his crumbling regime. And my message to the President of the United States, President Trump, is this: The honorable people of Iran, despite the brutal repression and killings carried out by this regime, stood bravely for nearly two months. I now ask you to exercise the utmost possible caution to preserve the lives of civilians and my compatriots. The people of Iran are your natural allies and the allies of the free world, and they will not forget your assistance during the most difficult period of Iran’s contemporary history. And to you, my dear compatriots in Iran: In these sensitive hours and days, more than ever we must remain focused on our ultimate goal: reclaiming Iran. I ask you, for now, to remain in your homes and remain calm and safe. Stay alert and ready to return to the streets for the final action at the appropriate time, which I will communicate to you. Follow my messages through social media and satellite media. If disruptions occur in the internet and satellite broadcasts, I will remain in contact with you via radio. We are very close to final victory. I hope to be with you as soon as possible so that together we may reclaim Iran and rebuild it. Long live Iran. Reza Pahlavi -

Dear compatriots abroad, The image you displayed at the Global Day of Action gatherings around the world was the true face of Iran—a magnificent image of peacefulness, culture, civilization, order, and respect for the law; in complete contrast to the terrorism, backwardness, violence, chaos-seeking, and extremism of the Islamic Republic. In the days and weeks ahead, as our compatriots inside Iran look to the world for help, it is our duty to ensure that this help actually arrives. Therefore, your message to the politicians and decision-makers in your host countries is very clear: those who obstruct assistance to the people of Iran will not have the vote or support of the vast Iranian diaspora community—neither today nor in the future. I ask all of you to continue being worthy representatives of the Iranian nation: determined and steadfast, organized and dignified. Keep moving forward just as you did on the Global Day of Action. Do not take your eyes off the main goal. Avoid any behavior unworthy of the great Iranian nation. And do not allow distractions or troublemakers to divert you from the path to victory. Long live Iran, Reza Pahlavi -

My brave and honorable compatriots, Your resounding cries within Iran on the nights of February 14th and 15th, and your remarkable presence in the rallies of the February 14th Global Day of Action were a clear manifestation of our national unity. I salute you in Iran, who stand steadfast against the occupiers. I salute you—from Australia and New Zealand to London and Munich, from Toronto and Vancouver to Washington and Los Angeles—who became the external echo of Iran’s national Lion and Sun Revolution. You have given redoubled strength to our courageous compatriots in Iran; you have awakened the conscience of the world and made it more difficult to appease this criminal regime. With commendable discipline, in massive numbers, and with the utmost dignity and respect for your host countries, you proved that Iranians, wherever they may be in the world, are one united nation with one flag, one unwavering will, and one clear goal. You showed the world that the Iranian nation, unlike the ignoble and terrorist Islamic regime, is a great and civilized nation. It not only knows what it does not want, but clearly knows what it does want. Our struggle to overthrow the Islamic Republic and establish a national and democratic government is irreversible. Between us and this regime lies a sea of blood. The blood unjustly shed, and the tens of thousands of precious lives taken by the Zahhak of our time, Ali Khamenei, have become the driving force of a great resurrection and an unparalleled unity. Soon, like a powerful flood, it will wash away what remains of this criminal cult from the pure soil of Iran. We will continue this struggle with strength until the overthrow of this criminal regime and the expulsion of the occupiers from our beloved Iran; until the day every single criminal faces the consequences of their actions and the grieving families seeking justice achieve it. I sincerely thank all of you who responded to the call for the Global Day of Action. Your trust is my greatest asset, and I will dedicate it entirely to the path of Iran’s freedom. With my very life, I will remain by your side until our final victory. I believe that soon, we will celebrate freedom across all of Iran. Long live Iran! May the Lion and Sun Revolution of Iran be victorious! -

I was pleased to meet with President @ZelenskyyUa today in Munich. We each represent nations fighting threats to our freedom and sovereignty. The threat to Ukraine is foreign. The threat to Iran is domestic. Our nations and people are bonded by this and by their remarkable courage. We discussed our mutual support for the liberation of our respective nations and the fruitful collaboration we can build in the fight for freedom. I look forward to continuing to work with President Zelenskyy and am thankful for his support of the people of Iran. -

Iranians abroad and freedom-loving people around the world, February 14 is the Global Day of Action in solidarity with Iran’s Lion-and-Sun Revolution, a day to take to the streets and compel the international community to take urgent, practical steps in support of the Iranian people. Our six demands are clear: 1. Dismantle the regime’s machinery of repression and protect the people of Iran 2. Cut off the regime’s financial lifelines in full 3. Ensure free internet and communications for the people of Iran 4. Expel the regime’s "diplomats" and prosecute its criminals 5. Immediate release of all political prisoners 6. Prepare to recognize a legitimate transitional government to lead Iran toward democracy Munich, Los Angeles, and Toronto are the main gathering points. If you cannot travel, join protests in your own city and be the voice of Iran. The Islamic Republic’s occupying rule has tried to break our nation’s will through massacre and brutal violence. It has failed. These invading terrorists, alien to Iran, have slaughtered tens of thousands of brave Iranians and cut off the internet to hide their crimes. Yet the people of Iran still stand before bullets, raising the cry of freedom and love of country. The era of fear is over. The era of freedom is near. Iranians have risen. To those of you who believe in Iran’s freedom: on Saturday, February 14, rise in solidarity with the people of Iran. Your solidarity matters. When we stand united, governments are compelled to listen. History will remember those who stood with the Iranian people. Long live freedom. Long live Iran. Victory to Iran’s Lion-and-Sun Revolution. -

I welcome the EU’s decision to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. This important step sends a message to the criminal regime that it has no global legitimacy. We now need further concrete action to protect the Iranian people and to support a legitimate transitional government leading Iran to democracy. -

I was pleased to meet with @MAStrackZi, the Chair of the European Parliament’s Defense and Security Committee to discuss the revolution in Iran. Her support for the Iranian people and her recognition of the malign role of the current regime is deeply appreciated. We discussed the change a liberated Iran would bring to Europe: Instead of causing massive migration though its proxy wars, a free Iran would stabilize the region and allow refugees to return home. Instead of taking Europeans hostage and plotting terror in Europe, a free Iran would become a true partner for commerce and trade. Instead of supplying drones to murder innocent civilians, a free Iran would be a supplier of oil and gas to Europe. I reiterated that if Europe and European nations enact the six policies we have announced and do more than stand but act urgently in support of the brave people of Iran, that day will be soon. -
