Addressing Iranians in a video message, the exiled crown prince of Iran, Reza Pahlavi in his latest post on X said, "The battle in Iran today is between occupation and liberation. The Iranian people have called for me to lead. I will return to Iran." Earlier, Reza Pahlavi has outlined an expansive vision for a "free Iran," promising a decisive break from the policies of the Islamic Republic and a return to peace, prosperity, and international cooperation.
In a detailed post on X, Pahlavi said a future democratic Iran would abandon its nuclear military ambitions, end support for terrorist groups, normalize relations with the United States, recognize Israel, and emerge as a stabilizing force in the Middle East and a reliable partner to the global community. He wrote, "To all of our friends around the world, under the yoke of the Islamic Republic, Iran is identified in your minds with terrorism, extremism, and poverty. The real Iran is a different Iran. A beautiful, peace-loving, and flourishing Iran."
