Message from Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi to the Iranian Nation:

“My dear compatriots,

We are entering the final and most difficult stage of our struggle. The path ahead will be challenging, but the regime is fragile and nearing its collapse. Only we—the people of Iran—can bring it to an end.

To the military: when ordered to turn your weapons against the people, refuse. This is your last opportunity to do what is right. The nation is watching. History will remember those who stood with their fellow Iranians—and those who committed crimes against them.

To the international community: do not rescue this corrupt, collapsing, terrorist regime. In this defining moment, stand with the Iranian people. Protect them from the regime’s inevitable and desperate retaliation. Do not support a government that will, once again, aim its violence, missiles, and terror at you.

Do not be afraid. Be courageous. Victory is within our grasp.”
