Dear Mr. President,
Congratulations on your inauguration. During your first term, you stood boldly and courageously with the Iranian people against the illegitimate and criminal regime occupying Iran. Today, the team you have assembled gives Iranians renewed hope that those principles and policies will continue.
Mr. President, in this term, you have an even greater opportunity: the chance to resolve a challenge that has eluded leaders for decades—the promise of peace and prosperity in the Middle East. The key to that legacy lies in Iran.
For nearly half a century, the Islamic Republic has been the primary obstacle to peace in the region. Its malevolent, ideological agenda thrives on chaos, destruction, and war. Despite repeated efforts by Middle Eastern leaders to achieve stability, they have been consistently undermined by this regime’s unrelenting campaign of terror. No American President has yet had the courage to put an end to this tyranny. You can. Not through war, but by maintaining maximum pressure on the regime and providing maximum support to the brave Iranian people.
The Islamic Republic does not seek the peace and prosperity you envision. Now weaker than ever, it will attempt to preserve itself through deception, offering hollow promises and pursuing subterfuge in the guise of a new deal as it has done for forty-five years. But this regime cannot be trusted. It is not the regime, but we—the Iranian people—who are your true partners for peace.
Mr. President, you have the opportunity to go beyond the groundbreaking Abraham Accords. By helping to facilitate the Cyrus Accords—uniting Israel, Arab nations, and a free Iran—you can transform the Middle East and the world.
My compatriots in Iran are courageously fighting for this change, and I stand ready to partner with you and our friends in the region to make it a reality. With your support and leadership on the global stage, we can alter the course of history and you can secure a legacy as a true architect of peace.
Sincerely,
Reza Pahlavi
ترجمه فارسی نامه به پرزیدنت ترامپ به مناسبت آغاز ریاست جمهوری آمریکا
جناب آقای رئیسجمهور،
سوگند رییسجمهوری شما را تبریک میگویم. شما در دوره اول ریاست جمهوری خود، با شجاعت و جسارت در کنار مردم ایران و در مقابل رژیم نامشروع و جنایتکاری که ایران را اشغال کرده، ایستادید. امروز، تیمی که شما گرد هم آوردهاید، به ایرانیان امید تازهای میدهد که همان اصول و سیاستها ادامه خواهند یافت.
آقای رئیسجمهور، شما این بار فرصتی حتی بزرگتر از قبل دارید: حل چالشی که رهبران جهان دهههاست از حل آن ناتوان ماندهاند، و آن چالش، ایجاد صلح و رفاه در خاورمیانه است که میتواند میراث ریاست جمهوری شما باشد. کلید دستیابی به این میراث، در ایران است.
برای تقریباً نیم قرن، جمهوری اسلامی مانع اصلی صلح در منطقه بوده است. اهداف ایدئولوژیک و شرورانه این رژیم، تنها با آشوب، نابودی، و جنگ پیش میروند. جمهوری اسلامی با کارزار بیامان تروریستی خود، به تلاشهای مکرر رهبران خاورمیانه برای دستیابی به ثبات آسیب میزند. هیچیک از روسای جمهور آمریکا تاکنون شهامت پایان دادن به این استبداد را نداشتهاند؛ اما شما میتوانید. نه از طریق جنگ، بلکه با حفظ فشار حداکثری بر رژیم و حمایت حداکثری از ملت شجاع ایران.
جمهوری اسلامی به دنبال صلح و رفاهی که شما تجسم میکنید نیست. اکنون که این رژیم ضعیفتر از همیشه است، سعی خواهد کرد همانند ۴۵ سال گذشته، با وعدههای توخالی و در پوشش یک معامله جدید، خود را حفظ کند. اما این رژیم قابل اعتماد نیست. شریک واقعی شما برای صلح نه این رژیم، که ما، ملت ایران هستیم.
آقای رئیسجمهور، شما فرصتی دارید تا از پیمان ابراهیم فراتر بروید. با زمینهسازی برای پیمان کوروش -متحد کردن اسرائیل، کشورهای عربی و ایران آزاد- شما میتوانید خاورمیانه و جهان را متحول کنید.
هممیهنان من در ایران برای این تغییر شجاعانه مبارزه میکنند و من آماده هستم تا با شما و دوستانمان در منطقه برای تحقق این هدف همکاری کنم. با حمایت و رهبری شما در صحنه جهانی، میتوانیم مسیر تاریخ را تغییر دهیم و شما میتوانید به عنوان معمار واقعی صلح، میراثی ماندگار برای خود بسازید.
با احترام،
رضا پهلوی
زندهیاد جلال متینی از کارگزاران نیکپندار، راستگفتار و درستکردار ایران بود که مهر میهن در زندگیش موج میزد. او، چه در ایران و چه در تبعید، دانش و بینش عمیقش در ایرانشناسی، تاریخ و ادبیات فارسی را در خدمت آرمانهای ملی به کار گرفت. وی به دور از تنزهطلبی، باورهای ایرانگرایانه خود را با صراحت بیان میکرد و به همین دلیل نیز پس از فاجعه۵۷ از دانشگاه فردوسی مشهد، که خانه دومش بود، اخراج شد. انتشار دو مجله «ایراننامه» و «ایرانشناسی» در خارج از کشور، بازتابی از دغدغههای ارزشمند اوست. یادش را گرامی میدارم و آرزومند تداوم راه راستین او در خدمت به ایران هستم.
I’ve dedicated my life to serving my country and helping my compatriots liberate Iran. At this critical juncture in our fight, I sat down with @humansofny for Life Stories to share my story and my vision for Iran’s future with the international audience.

The Middle East is on the precipice of a new era of peace and prosperity. But the Islamic Republic, weaker than ever and lashing out, is seeking to prevent that.
The people of Iran, however, do want to be a part of this new era. Tomorrow I’ll speak at the @PressClubDC to members of the media to outline my vision for a new Iran and the stability and opportunities it will bring the region and the United States.
Looking forward to my conversation with @MikeBalsamo1.

My full remarks this morning at @PressClubDC:
Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. It’s a pleasure to be back at the National Press Club. Thank you for the invitation and I look forward to taking your questions later.
Today the Middle East is on the cusp of fundamental change — a reset that has the potential to course-correct decades of terror, conflict, and chaos to peace, prosperity, and stability.
This reset has been made possible by the significant weakening of Hamas in Gaza, the decapitation of Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the fall of Assad in Syria. But it is also made possible by the leadership, vision, and hope offered by leaders — from Riyadh to Jerusalem and across the region— who seek to work together for the prosperity of their people.
But while today offers historic opportunities to the peacemakers, the warmongers are not sitting idly by. The warmongers, the arsonists that have kept the Middle East ablaze for 45 years, are sitting in Tehran. Ali Khamenei and his regime — even those he sends you in well-spoken English and a smile — do not seek to be a part of this burgeoning peace. They seek to destroy it.
How do we know? Because they’ve not just told us. They’ve shown us. From its very onset this illegitimate, criminal regime has waged war on the people of Iran and the people of the United States.
When it murdered our bravest generals it took your embassy staff hostage. When it killed our intellectuals in chain murders it blew up your Marine barracks in Lebanon. When it slaughtered our most courageous youth in the street, it attempted to assassinate your president - Donald Trump.
“Death to America” is not just this regime’s slogan. As Ali Khamenei himself says, it is its policy.
But today, with its proxies in shambles, the Islamic Republic is weaker than ever. So, afraid for its very survival and willing to do anything to save itself, in the coming weeks and months, you will see a different face of the Islamic Republic. It will not speak the language of jihad, hostage-taking, or chaos. It will talk of deal-making, mutual interest, and pragmatism. As it has for half a century, it will use every trick in the book and every tool of subterfuge to lie, cheat, and steal its way to a new deal with the United States.
If it gets that deal, it will use the benefits and concessions it extracts to rebuild its proxies and prepare to inflict more pain and chaos on the region. It will look to bring about an even more terrifying October 7th. It will again wage war on the American people and American interests. This is not my opinion on analysis. It is the track record of the past 45 years. It is this regime’s DNA.
So the United States has a choice— will it seek to use the leverage and this historic opportunity to fundamentally alter the trajectory of the Middle East and the world to bring about lasting peace and prosperity? Or will it fall for the flirtations of a radical Islamic regime and hand the Middle East back to its radical, terrorist proxies?
Of course, put this way, the first option sounds like the obvious choice. But I know there are those, whether out of ignorance, ideology, or personal interest, who look to mislead the administration into thinking that change in Iran can only come about by war and would only lead to something worse. Let me address this directly and frankly: Mr President, anyone telling you that you have to sacrifice the lives of your brave troops to see change in Iran and a peaceful Middle East is lying to you.
We do not seek America’s troops nor do we seek her treasures in our fight for Iran’s liberation. It is Iranians themselves who are fighting to liberate their homeland and to join the burgeoning movement for peace in the region that their occupiers are trying to stop. They have consistently been on the streets, not just seeking their liberation but fighting for it.
But my compatriots are not alone. I will not let them fight this fight alone. They have called on me to lead the transition from this warmongering regime to a stable, peaceful future. I have accepted their call and I am here to do my duty.
My plan to bring down and replace this regime involves splitting the regime and facilitating defections, engaging the grassroots inside Iran, mobilizing global public opinion and the diaspora, working with G20 governments to place maximum pressure on the regime and give maximum support to the people, and finally preparing for the transition and the economic and political reconstruction.
It is because of that duty I have to my compatriots who seek to join the ranks of peacemakers that I am here today with a message: it is time to grab the opportunity presenting itself for a historic reset of the Middle East that will end the endless wars and bring lasting prosperity to all the nations of the region and the world. But that can only happen when we are free of the world’s chief warmonger: the Islamic Republic.

Thank you, @marcorubio. Your support gives Iranians inspiration in their fight to reclaim their great civilization.
Free of this illegitimate, criminal regime— which has held both Iranians and Americans hostage— we can build a peaceful and prosperous future for both our nations.
