Reza Pahlavi:
My fellow countrymen,
The Islamic Republic has reached its end and is in the process of collapsing. Khamenei, like a frightened rat, is hiding underground and has lost control of the situation. What has begun is irreversible. The future is bright, and together we will get through this sharp turn in history.
In these difficult days, my heart is with all the defenseless citizens who have been harmed and have become victims of Khamenei's warmongering and delusions. For years, I tried to prevent our homeland from being dragged into the flames of war.
The end of the Islamic Republic marks the end of its 46-year war against the Iranian people.
The regime's repressive apparatus is collapsing. Only one united uprising is needed for this nightmare to end once and for all.
Now is the time to stand up; the time to reclaim Iran. Let us all rise — from Bandar Abbas to Bandar Anzali, from Shiraz to Isfahan, from Tabriz to Zahedan, from Mashhad to Ahvaz, from Shahr-e Kord to Kermanshah — and bring about the end of this regime.
Do not fear the day after the fall of the Islamic Republic. Iran will not face civil war or instability. We have a plan for Iran’s future and prosperity. We are ready for the first 100 days after the fall, for the transitional period, and for the establishment of a national and democratic government — by the Iranian people, for the Iranian people.
To the military, security, and government forces — many of whom have contacted me in recent days — I say: “Do not stand against the Iranian nation to protect a regime that is already falling and whose collapse is certain. Do not sacrifice yourselves for a rotten regime. By standing with the people, you can save your lives. Play a historic role in Iran’s transition, and take part in building its future.”
A free and prosperous Iran lies ahead. May we soon stand together side by side.
Long live Iran!
Long live the people of Iran!
