This year’s March 8 arrives as Iran passes through the most decisive chapter of its contemporary history.
Iranian women, who before the upheaval of 1979 enjoyed many rights and freedoms under the law, lost a large portion of those rights and liberties with the establishment of the Islamic Republic. Yet over the past forty-seven years, they have never laid down the banner of the struggle against discrimination and injustice, and have consistently stood at the forefront of resistance against this regime.
International Women’s Day reminds us of the courage of women who stood firm in the streets and universities, in their homes and workplaces, and even in prison and exile — women who paid the price of this steadfastness by putting their lives and futures at risk, and who today, in Iran’s national Lion and Sun Revolution, fight shoulder to shoulder with men for the liberation of the homeland.
In the free, democratic, prosperous, and flourishing Iran of tomorrow, all citizens — regardless of gender — will be equal before the law. Women and men, not in opposition to one another but alongside each other, will build a bright future for the generations to come. Iranian women, who have been pioneers in the struggle for freedom, will also play a decisive role in the day after liberation — in rebuilding the country, strengthening democratic institutions, and advancing Iran’s economic and cultural flourishing.
On this March 8, I honor the memory and the names of all the women who fought for Iran’s freedom and, through courage and sacrifice, kept the flame of hope alive. I have faith that the path of the Lion and Sun Revolution will ultimately lead to the radiant dawn of freedom and justice in Iran.
Long live Iran,
Reza Pahlavi

"Australia is making a terrible humanitarian mistake by allowing the Iran National Woman’s Soccer team to be forced back to Iran, where they will most likely be killed. Don’t do it, Mr. Prime Minister, give ASYLUM. The U.S. will take them if you won’t..." - @POTUS
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.
هممیهنان عزیزم،
همانطور که در پیامم پس از هلاکت خامنهای تاکید کردم، هرگونه جانشینسازی برای او، از پیش شکست خورده است. هر نامی که معرفی شود، مجتبی باشد یا حسن، فاقد مشروعیت، و شریک کارنامه خونین این رژیم و رهبران جنایتکارش، خمینی و خامنهای خواهد بود.
رژیمِ در حال سقوط جمهوری اسلامی، هیچ مشروعیتی ندارد. تنها جایگزین مشروع این رژیم، سامانه گذار است که چارچوب آن از طریق کتابچه مرحله اضطراری پروژه شکوفایی ایران به اطلاع شما رسیده است و اجزای آن نیز به تدریج معرفی خواهد شد.
خطاب به همه کارگزاران پیشین و کنونی جمهوری اسلامی که دستشان به خون ملت آغشته نیست: به اراده ملت احترام بگذارید. بیدرنگ و بیخشونت قدرت را واگذار کنید؛ پیوستن خود به انقلاب شیروخورشید ملت ایران را اعلام کنید؛ و در گذار باثبات و امن ایران به یک دولت منتخب ملی سهیم شوید.
به جامعه جهانی میگویم: در کنار ملت ایران بایستید. نامشروع بودن جمهوری اسلامی را اعلام، و سامانه گذار را بهعنوان نماینده اراده ملت به رسمیت بشناسید.
پیروزی نزدیک است. ملت ایران آزاد خواهد شد و به یاد خواهد سپرد چه کسانی در دوران سختی در کنارش ایستادند.
پاینده ایران،
رضا پهلوی
