Reza Pahlavi urges world not to save Iranian regime

Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran’s last Shah and a prominent figure calling for regime change in Tehran, claimed that the “struggle” against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s government is entering its “final phase.”

Following the Iran-Israel ceasefire, he called on the international community not to intervene in support of the Islamic Republic.

In a statement posted on X, Pahlavi claimed that the Khamenei’s government is nearing collapse and asserted that it will be the Iranian people who bring it down.

Addressing the Iranian military directly, he warned against any crackdown on those advocating for regime change.

My fellow compatriots,

We are now moving to the final phase of our struggle. It will be hard. But the regime is weak. It is near collapse. Only we, the Iranian people, can end it.

 “To the military, as you’re given orders to lash out at the people, stand down. This is your final chance. You are being watched. We will remember who stood with the people and who committed cr!mes against them.”

Turning his message to the global community, Pahlavi urged nations not to support or “prop up” what he described as a “corrupt, crumbling, terrorist regime.”

He also urged the world to support the Iranian people as they rise against their government. 

“Do not back a regime that will soon again turn its guns, missiles, and terror toward you. Do not fear. Be bold. Victory is in our hands,” Pahlavi added.
