Friday, January 9, 2026, around 8:30 to 9:00 p.m. Rasht, Lakani Street, a side street near Sandoogh-e Edalat. Plainclothes government agents suddenly opened fire on people who were mostly gathered in front of their own homes. After about five minutes, when everyone had fled and then returned, we realized that a person was lying bloodied on the asphalt in front of one of the parked cars and had been killed. Filming was done with great difficulty, because the agents were still standing at the intersection of Lakani and Sandoogh-e Edalat. After the filming, they fired in bursts; the bullets struck around people, hit parked cars, and impacted the surrounding area. I don’t know how many others were killed.

#IranMassacre
خارجنشینانی که از زندگیتان زدید و ایستادید، یک سطح دیگر از شرافتید، با اینکه هر روز از تعدامون کم میشه
رؤیافروشی و ناامیدی، هر دو اشتباهاند
این رژیم در مسیر رفتنه، ولی هنوز تمام نشده
حساسیت اجتماعی را بالا ببرید
آگاه و فعال بمانید، ما صدای آنهاییم که نمیتوانند فریاد بزنند
JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Exiled Crown Prince of Iran Reza Pahlavi says President Trump should not strike a deal with Iran’s current regime.
Arguing negotiations would only delay future threats to U.S. security.
The exiled Iranian Prince Reza Pahlavi is set to appear at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Texas later this month, the group announced on Tuesday… Read More at https://t.co/dS9FPT2Qry
Everyone's asking me how I knew Larijani was next. Haba Bator, the agent who took him out, is one of my dearest friends and we can read each other very well after so many years. Haba just told me who is next, but I'm not sure I'm allowed to publicize this one. Stay tuned...
The Islamic Republic has launched missiles at the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Jordan, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. It is targeting our Arab neighbors.
These violations of their sovereignty are unacceptable and we condemn them. But this is nothing new.
This is who the Islamic Republic has always been. And this is why it must end.
For nearly five decades, this terrorist regime has sown chaos and bloodshed across our region.
It propped up Assad, turning Syria into a graveyard.
It planted Hezbollah; as a state within a state in Lebanon.
It armed the Houthis to destabilize the Arabian Peninsula.
It empowered militias in Iraq that undermine Iraqi sovereignty.
It attacked the economic hubs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
None of this has ever been the desire of the Iranian people, but rather that of the regime occupying our country. Now, however, the landscape has fundamentally shifted.
Assad is gone. Hezbollah has been decimated. The regime’s military nuclear program has been set back. Its economy is in freefall.
The pillars of this regime’s aggression are crumbling.
The Iranian people have paid the price, in blood, to reach this moment. The regime massacred at least tens of thousands of my compatriots in just two days. But it didn’t break the people. Instead, the regime itself is breaking.
Today, history reminds us of our future potential.
Before the revolution, Iran worked closely with Arab leaders — from King Faisal to Sheikh Zayed to King Hussein to President Sadat.
In Oman, my father helped Sultan Qaboos defend his country against insurgency.
We were true partners then. We will be true partners again.
The Iranian people have called on me to lead the transition after the regime is gone. I have accepted that responsibility. Part of their great mandate to me is to return our nation and our foreign relations to normalcy. I will do exactly that.
My commitment is to ensure the transition is orderly, the country is stabilized, and Iranians determine their future through the ballot box. We will not repeat the mistakes of past transitions. We will avoid de-Baathification scenarios and maintain as many bureaucrats and public servants in the transition as possible.
Iranians have made their choice — at an enormous price. Now I ask our friends in the Arab world to join us. To prepare to recognize and engage our transitional government.
We will rebuild our nation not for expansion, but to serve the Iranian people. We will base our diplomatic relations, not on exportation of ideology, but on mutual respect and shared interests. We will reintegrate into the regional and global economy to increase prosperity for the citizens of all of our nations.
Standing with the Iranian people is not charity. It is a strategic investment in making our region one of the most stable, secure, and prosperous in the world.
Together, we can build a Middle East our children will be proud to inherit.
Take this new path with us.
Dear compatriots,
As I emphasized in my message following the demise of Khamenei, any attempt to appoint a successor for him is pre-destined to fail. Whomever is introduced—be it Mojtaba or Hassan—will lack legitimacy and will be considered an accomplice to the bloody record of this regime and its criminal leaders, Khomeini and Khamenei.
The collapsing regime of the Islamic Republic holds no legitimacy. The only legitimate alternative to this regime is the Transition System, the framework of which has been communicated to you through the "Emergency Phase" booklet of the Iran Prosperity Project, and its components will be introduced gradually.
To all former and current officials of the Islamic Republic whose hands are not stained with the blood of the nation: Respect the will of the people. Hand over power immediately and without violence; declare your allegiance to the nation’s Lion and Sun Revolution, and contribute to Iran's stable and secure transition to a democratically elected national government.
To the international community, I say: Stand with the people of Iran. Declare the Islamic Republic illegitimate and recognize the Transition System as the representative of the nation's will.
Victory is near. The Iranian nation will be liberated and will remember those who stood by its side during these times of hardship.
Long live Iran,
Reza Pahlavi
