Whether or not Europe stands with us, whether or not your journalists do their jobs, whether or not your politicians demonstrate the courage to act, I will fight for my people and my country.

Dear Elon,
In these critical days, the people of Iran need internet access. Please help them stay connected as they struggle to reclaim their country from the rule of the mullahs. Stand with the Iranian people. Iran will not forget its friends.
I met in Paris with the exiled Crown Prince of Iran, @PahlaviReza. We discussed in detail the situation in Iran and the region, as well as the U.S. operation against the terrorist regime. The Crown Prince and his team briefed me on signals they are receiving from inside the country. The regime’s hierarchy has indeed already suffered significant losses, and it is crucial that the Iranian regime gains nothing from this and that the people of Iran have greater protection for their lives and more opportunities to determine their own fate. We spoke about how international pressure and joint efforts could help achieve this.
Ukraine truly wants to see a free Iran that will not cooperate with Russia or destabilize the Middle East, Europe, and the world. I am grateful to the Crown Prince for his clear assurances of support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Our teams will remain in communication.
Listen to this: a mysterious radio message was caught on the first day of the US-Iran war. A man calmly reading random numbers in Persian. What is it? And who's behind it?

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.
IRGC on Iranian national TV directly threatens citizens:
"Today anyone on Iranian soil who lets a sound out of their throat that displays enmity [toward the regime], their feet are on Tel Aviv and their head is Netanyahu's head; and an order to shoot them has already been issued."

Kremlin spokesperson Peskov said that the conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran in the Middle East “is not our war” and is beyond Russia’s ability to influence.
Russia has once again proven that its alliance is worthless.
هممیهنان عزیز خارج از کشور،
تلاش و حضور پرشور شما در هفتههای اخیر، و درخشش بینظیرتان در «روز جهانی اقدام»، سهمی کلیدی در تغییر افکار عمومی جهان و تصمیمگیران برای حمایت از ملت ایران داشته است.
در روزها و هفتههای حساس پیشِ رو، نقش شما در تداوم این حمایت تا پایان دادن به عمر ننگین جمهوری اسلامی، حیاتی است.
در این مسیر من از شما میخواهم فعالیتهای زیر را انجام دهید:
- با نمایندگان و تصمیمگیران کشورهای محل اقامت خود تماس بگیرید. آنان را قانع کنید که حمایت از ملت ایران باید تا لحظه سقوط جمهوری اسلامی ادامه یابد.
- همچنین بر خدشهناپذیر بودن تمامیت ارضی ایران تأکید کنید. بر التزام کامل به اراده ملت ایران برای شکل دادن به نظام آینده کشور پافشاری کنید. و بر مراقبت حداکثری برای جلوگیری از هرگونه آسیب به غیرنظامیان اصرار بورزید.
- در گفتوگو و مکاتبه با رسانهها و نهادهای مدنی، پیام و خواست روشن ملت ایران را به شایستهترین وجه منتقل کنید.
- با شرکت در راهپیماییهای باشکوه نشان دهید و بیان کنید که ملت ایران چه میخواهد.
لحظاتی سرنوشتساز پیش روی ماست. لحظاتی که آینده ایران را برای دههها و سدهها رقم خواهد زد. تلاشهای خود را چند برابر کنید.
شما فرزندان آرشید که جان خویش را در تیر کرد. تا واپسین لحظه، انرژی خود را صرف تداومِ حمایت جهانی برای محوِ این رژیم ضحاکی از خاک اهورایی ایران کنید.
باری سنگین از سرنوشت بر دوش همه ماست. و ما، همراه یکدیگر، این مسیر را تا پیروزی نهایی خواهیم پیمود.
پاینده ایران،
رضا پهلوی

Dictatorship 101
My dear compatriots in the provinces of Khuzestan, Ilam, Kermanshah, Kordestan, and Western Azerbaijan;
Brave and patriotic Azeris, Kurds, and Lors of Iran;
The honorable Yarsan community;
And the proud tribes of Jaff, Kalhor, Sanjabi, and Bakhtiari,
From the very first days of the Islamic Republic’s rule, you have endured repression, discrimination, and injustice at the hands of this authoritarian and criminal regime—yet you have never surrendered. Throughout these 47 years, and especially during the National Lion and Sun Revolution, you have given dozens of your best sons and daughters—forever remembered—in the cause of freedom and the reclamation of our country.
I assure you that I will devote my utmost effort to ensuring that in a free Iran, under a government founded on the separation of religion and state, grounded in the rule of law and equal citizenship, you will no longer face discrimination. You will be able, like every other Iranian, to live freely while preserving your identity, and to benefit justly and equitably from the blessings of a liberated Iran.
You are an inseparable part of Iran’s historical and cultural fabric—communities that have always stood as guardians of our territorial integrity and the dignity and honor of our nation. I am confident that you will remain steadfast in this covenant.
We stand at the threshold of this regime’s fall. Yet we must remain vigilant and prepared, and deny opportunistic forces—those who have long cast covetous eyes on Iran’s soil—the chance to exploit this moment. I firmly believe that through national unity and shared resolve, a bright future awaits you and every Iranian.
Long live Iran,
Reza Pahlavi
