In an emotional and defiant address from Paris, exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi called on the Iranian people to rise up against the “tyrannical” Islamic regime, declaring, “This is our Berlin Wall moment.”
Pahlavi condemned Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei as “the architect” of a national disaster, saying, “He has driven our nation’s economy to the brink of collapse, plundered our national infrastructure and resources, squandered the nation’s wealth on developing nuclear weapons, shattered Iran’s security, and stolen the sovereignty of the Iranian people.”

Speaking to the military and people of Iran directly, Pahlavi revealed that credible sources indicated the regime is unraveling from within. “Credible reports indicate that Ali Khamenei’s family and the family of senior officials are making preparations to flee Iran. The regime is on its last legs in towns and cities across the country. The military is fractured,” he said. “The people are united; the foundations of this 46-year tyranny are shaking.”
In an effort to coordinate the collapse of the regime and usher in a democratic transition, Pahlavi announced, “I am establishing a formal channel for military security and police personnel to reach out directly to me, my team, and our expanding operation.” He added, “If you do, I will make sure your service to Iran is not forgotten and is celebrated.”
The prince emphasized that Iran’s path forward must rest on “three core principles: Iran’s territorial integrity, individual liberties and equality of all citizens; separation of religion and state.” He promised to convene a “national unity summit” to map out a democratic transition and implement an economic recovery plan titled the Iran Prosperity Project.
Pahlavi also issued a pointed rebuke to Khamenei, stating, “Step down. And if you do, you will receive a fair trial and due process of law, which is more than you have ever given any Iranian.”

He recalled the words of a woman mourning the loss of her brother, slain by the regime for protesting: “Oh God, where shall we go? Where shall we go to flee from your tyranny?” Her neighbors responded, “We’re not going anywhere. They are the ones who’ve got to go.”
“This is a new dawn for Iran’s lion and sun,” Pahlavi declared. “To my compatriots: This is our moment. I am with you. Let us build this Iran together.”
