Iranian prince Reza Pahlavi is insisting on regime change in Tehran and claims that the regime is “almost collapsed”.
In a post on X, Pahlavi encouraged the population of Iran to get up and warned military staff that this is their “last chance” to face the regime with the public.
“To the army – while you get orders to get to the people – is your last chance. You will be viewed. We will remember who was in the people and committed crimes against them,” wrote Pahlavi on X.

The Iranian people seem to be exiled in the end of the Islamic Republic: “Our Berlin Wall Moment”
On Monday, Pahlavi held a press conference in Paris, where he announced the launch of a secure platform for military, police and security staff who wanted to consult the regime to contact him and his team. He implied that he already received such messages and said that the platform would “efficiently manage the growing volume of incoming communication and requests from those who break with the regime and want to join our movement.”
The banished prince also gave a message to the world and urged the international community to drop the “corrupt, crumbling, terrorist regime” in Iran.
“Do not send a regime that will soon put its weapons, rockets and fear towards you,” Pahlavi wrote.

This is what a post-Ayatollah Iran could look like if war with Israel leads to the fall of the regime
The message posted on X comes a day after Pahlavi suggested that he led Iran to democracy. He said it is the “Berlin wall moment” of the Iranian people, because the future of the Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s regime remains uncertain after the destruction of Tehran’s nuclear program. Khamenei reportedly hid in a bunker during the American strikes about the nuclear facilities of Iran.
“I am here today to submit myself to my countrymen to lead them on this road to peace and a democratic transition,” said Pahlavi on Monday. “I am not looking for political power, but to help our great nation by navigating this critical hour to stability, freedom and justice.”

In a direct message to Khamenei, Pahlavi said: “Step off. And if you do that, you will receive a fair trial and a considerable lawsuit. That is more than you have ever given an Iranian.”
The deceased father of Pahlavi, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran, was overthrown during the Iranian Revolution of 1979.
In February, Pahlavi spoke at the Summit in Geneva for Human Rights and Democracy, where he called for international action against the Khamenei regime and said that Iranians were ready to reclaim their ‘stolen land’.
