“Fallen tree that once boasted high… “The one who slept beneath my shade.”…”King of Iran @PahlaviReza 𐎱𐎠𐎼𐎿, The time will come! "I will return to Iran.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of His Majesty King Harald V of Norway.
For more than three decades, King Harald served his country with an unwavering sense of duty, dignity, and devotion to the Norwegian people. Through moments of celebration and times of profound national sorrow, he was a steady and unifying presence, embodying a spirit of continuity and service.
I extend my heartfelt condolences to His Majesty King Haakon VIII, Her Majesty Queen Sonja, the Royal Family, and the people of Norway as they mourn a beloved King.
King Harald’s warmth, humanity, and lifelong service to his nation leave an enduring legacy. May his memory be honored for generations to come.

I salute the people of Ukraine on their 35th anniversary of Independence. On this important day the people of Iran stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Ukraine in their fight against aggression and occupation. Your solidarity with the people of Iran as they struggle for freedom will never be forgotten. We will always remember our friends.

The price of the U.S. dollar crossed the 2,000,000-rial mark today. The dollar is now worth 28,571 times more than it was when the Islamic Republic came to power.
Nearly five decades of corruption, mismanagement, and incompetence under the Islamic Republic have brought poverty, economic decline, and isolation to the Iranian people.
Five decades of experience have made one thing clear: reform within the Islamic Republic is impossible.
Today, the Islamic Republic is driving Iran toward the edge of a cliff at ever-increasing speed.
It is now the duty of every Iranian, including government employees and members of the country’s civil service, to do everything possible to obstruct the regime’s destructive actions and weaken its ability to continue them, helping create the conditions for its removal and for saving Iran.
My fellow compatriots,
The Islamic Republic’s attempt to raise fuel prices has once again exposed its incompetence and the deep structural dysfunction of Iran’s energy sector under this regime.
While the Islamic Republic squanders the country’s resources on foreign terrorists and domestic repression, regime officials and their cronies compete to plunder the nation’s wealth. Meanwhile, the regime’s gross mismanagement has pushed families to the breaking point and driven Iranians deeper into poverty. Forcing higher fuel prices on the people is an unforgivable mistake and a profound betrayal.
Fuel prices cannot be compared with those in other countries when Iranians earn their incomes in heavily devalued rials and live below the poverty line.
Fuel and energy are managed as a matter of routine, without constant crisis, in nearly every country in the world, including many with far fewer resources than Iran.
On one side, the IRGC’s smuggling mafia traffics tens of millions of liters of Iran’s resources every day through tanker trucks, pipelines, and ports. On the other, the automotive mafia forces Iranians to buy poorly made, fuel-inefficient cars. Unable to solve the problem it has created, this criminal cult uses its propaganda apparatus to shift the blame for fuel shortages onto the people, portraying ordinary Iranians as responsible for rising consumption and fuel smuggling.
The Islamic Republic is an incompetent, corrupt, and anti-Iranian regime. It is itself the root cause of this dysfunction and will never be capable of fixing it.
The only way to save Iran and end this destructive cycle is to bring down this regime in its entirety and establish an effective national government. The Iran Prosperity Project has developed clear plans to bring fuel production and consumption into balance. These plans draw on proven international best practices and Iran’s own national experience in managing its energy resources, and will be implemented during the transition following the fall of the regime.
Long live Iran, Reza Pahlavi
I was glad to meet again with @PierrePoilievre and discuss our shared desire for Western policies on Iran that support the Iranian people's movement to liberate themselves from the Islamic Republic.
He expressed his and his party's commitment to a secular, democratic Iran free from the dictatorship of the current regime and a process of free and fair elections in which Iranian decide their future.
I thanked him for his consistent support for the people of Iran and their human rights and dignity and accepted his invitation to visit Canada again where we will continue our conversation on how to help the Iranian people and free the world of regime holding us all hostage.
Iran's Rights in the Caspian Sea Are Not Negotiable.
The Islamic Republic, amid profound structural weakness and a deep crisis of legitimacy, is seeking to advance and implement the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea (the Aktau Convention). This effort, undertaken without the mandate of the Iranian people and without a clear and comprehensive guarantee of Iran's historic rights, is deeply concerning and constitutes a serious threat to Iran's national interests.
Under the 1921 and 1940 treaties between Iran and the Soviet Union, the legal regime governing the Caspian Sea was founded on the parties' shared rights and the principles of mutual agreement and common interests.
Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the newly independent states reaffirmed, in the Alma-Ata Declaration (December 1991), their commitment to the treaties of the former Soviet Union and to fulfilling the international obligations arising from those agreements through the successor states.
Accordingly, any fundamental change to the legal status of this strategically vital body of water must be made with the agreement of all littoral states and with full respect for Iran's rights.
However, the Aktau Convention provides for the conclusion of bilateral and multilateral agreements among the littoral states concerning portions of the seabed and subsoil of the Caspian Sea, areas that were previously part of the shared waters of Iran and the Soviet Union.
This sets a dangerous precedent. By circumventing the principle of consensus among all littoral states, it effectively weakens Iran's historic position and diminishes the country's role in determining the future legal status of the Caspian Sea.
Since the signing of the Aktau Convention in 2018, I have repeatedly warned that "national interests cannot be safeguarded from a position of weakness." At the time, I also stressed that the criminal clique ruling the Islamic Republic sacrifices the interests of the Iranian nation and homeland for its own survival, and that its foreign policy repeatedly resorts to concessions and appeasement from a position of weakness.
My position on the current process remains unchanged. I consider the Islamic Republic's attempt to ratify this convention to be contrary to Iran's national interests.
No decision concerning Iran's resources, borders, or sovereign rights in this strategic body of water can possess legitimacy without the genuine participation and consent of the Iranian people. Iran's rights in the Caspian Sea are not negotiable, nor can they be relinquished. Any action that undermines these rights will be recorded in the historical memory of the Iranian nation, and those responsible will ultimately be held accountable by the people of Iran.
Senator Lindsey Graham earned the affection of millions of Iranians by standing with them in their fight for freedom.
Today, I will attend his funeral in Washington to bid farewell on behalf of my compatriots.

The Islamic Republic is continuing its war on the people of Iran. But Iranians are fighting back.
Yesterday in Esfahan, citizens noticed the regime was preparing for a barbaric public execution. Reports circulated that the regime was set to hang three protesters from the January 8/9 uprising.
At dawn, hundreds of brave Iranians gathered in the square to protest this medieval brutality and public murder. They jeered and shouted at the executioners. Sadly as the call to prayer played, two young men were hung from cranes.
Security forces chased the protesters, firing on them with live ammunition, trying to kill more and more Iranians.
The murder of protesters and other political prisoners are often done in prisons. But the regime, fearing the Iranian people will rise against them, is conducting them in public in an attempt to intimidate them into silence.
Untold other brave protesters are currently facing a similar fate. Their lives hang in the balance.
This is two Irans: the vile and evil Islamic Republic against the brave and heroic people of Iran.
Iranians will not back down. They will fight. But they should not have to fight alone. The world must back these brave men and women.
