🔴 Reports indicate United States has told several Arab states in Persian Gulf to prepare for a short, intense military campaign against Islamic Republic after the November 3 midterms.
A Patriot battery is moving from Texas to the region. Troops have been pulled from vulnerable bases. Munitions are being restocked. Bombers and fighters are being readied. Another carrier strike group and a Marine expeditionary unit are expected to join the roughly 20 US warships already there next month.
President Trump has not decided but is leaning toward a large post-election attack on infrastructure and nuclear sites. The White House would only say Trump “keeps all options on the table to ensure that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.” At the Lubbock rally, Trump said: “You’ll see Iran in a couple of weeks, if you don’t mind.”
Islamic Republic had already bet on stalling until after the midterms. The IAEA still cannot verify 440 kg of highly enriched uranium. So, now even the Persian Gulf states are being told to brace.
Any strike is aimed at the IRGC’s nuclear and missile machine, not at the Iranian people, who have been begging the world to stop the regime since January.
🚨 FOR IRAN, FROM SYDNEY: "MR. PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU HAVE MADE HISTORY." NOW MEET PRINCE REZA PAHLAVI.
The Lion and Sun flag is held up at a harbour railing, with a small handwritten note at its corner: Trump meet Pahlavi. Behind it, the Sydney Opera House, and then the Harbour Bridge as the camera moves.
First: "Mr. President Trump, you have made history. Now help shape Iran's future." Then the ask, by name: please meet Prince Reza Pahlavi.
Then: "Even here, I feel compelled to cover my face, as the wicked hand of terrorism knows no borders." And at the end: "Long live America! Long live Iran!"
That is a voice from Australia, standing behind a flag, because this regime hunts its critics far beyond Iran.
The name on the note is Prince Reza Pahlavi's. He lives in exile, Iranians want him to lead them when the Islamic Republic falls, and they are asking President Trump for one meeting with him.
Repost it so the message crosses one more ocean.
Hold up your flag or your note wherever you live, film it and send it to me on Telegram. The link is in the first reply.
Which landmark should be next behind this flag? Tell me below.

The Islamic Republic is now openly declaring that it will pursue nuclear weapons and will not be deterred.
IRGC-linked Fars News is amplifying public calls for Iran to build the bomb, while the regime’s official representatives continue insisting that its nuclear program remains peaceful.
Saeed Leylaz, an economist historically associated with reformists, declared that Iran has “no choice but to become atomic.” He argued that nuclear-armed states are not attacked and that Iran now needs a nuclear shield.
His reformist background makes the message more useful. The regime can present nuclear weapons not as a hardline obsession, but as a national necessity supposedly imposed by American and Israeli attacks.
This does not yet confirm that a final order to assemble a weapon has been issued. It shows that the regime is deliberately preparing the Iranian public and testing the international response to an overt nuclear-weapons doctrine.
The timing is alarming.
The Islamic Republic’s missiles, proxies and underground facilities failed to prevent devastating attacks on its leadership, military and nuclear infrastructure. Its conventional deterrence was exposed as inadequate. Nuclear weapons are now being promoted as the shield its regional network could not provide.
The leadership change has widened the danger. Ali Khamenei’s nuclear fatwa was always politically reversible, and the new leadership has not clearly reaffirmed it as an absolute prohibition. Hardliners, parliamentarians and regime media are increasingly demanding that the doctrine be reconsidered.
Behind this public campaign is a deepening verification crisis.
Before inspectors lost effective access, Iran possessed approximately 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent. If enriched further, that could theoretically produce enough weapons-grade material for roughly ten bombs, although building deployable weapons would require additional steps.
The International Atomic Energy Agency can no longer confirm the stockpile’s current size, composition or location. It also cannot verify whether enrichment has stopped at Iran’s declared facilities.
That means the regime is publicly normalizing nuclear weapons while the international community is increasingly blind to the material and infrastructure that could produce them.
Any future agreement must be judged against this reality.
A deal limited to declared and already damaged facilities would leave the central danger intact. The Islamic Republic retains nuclear expertise, centrifuge knowledge, underground infrastructure and decades of experience concealing sensitive activities from inspectors.
It could accept restrictions at known sites, obtain sanctions relief and preserve material, equipment or parallel work elsewhere. An agreement without permanent access, complete material accounting and verification of centrifuge production would restore the regime’s finances without eliminating its nuclear option.
The dual message is deliberate.
For diplomacy, the regime says it does not seek the bomb.
For its domestic audience and its enemies, IRGC media says nuclear weapons are necessary and unavoidable.
The Islamic Republic is moving from nuclear ambiguity toward nuclear normalization. The danger is no longer confined to what may be happening underground. The regime is now building the political justification above ground.
If the uranium remains unaccounted for and inspectors remain obstructed, the world may discover that the debate over whether the Islamic Republic should build a bomb was merely cover for how far it had already progressed.
In one hour, Prince Reza Pahlavi's video message addressed to the people of Iran will be released.
You can watch this message from the official accounts of Prince Reza Pahlavi, National Revolution Television of Iran, and other Persian-language media outlets.
From a National Security perspective, @PahlaviReza’s message highlights 3 strategic dimensions:
public mobilization, fractures within the security apparatus, & stability during political transition.
These dynamics deserve serious analytical attention.

این پیام را از حسابهای رسمی شاهزاده رضا پهلوی، تلویزیون انقلاب ملی ایران و دیگر رسانههای فارسیزبان میتوانید تماشا کنید.
My brave fellow Iranians,
The Islamic Republic is weaker and more fragmented than ever. It is not the same regime that ruled Iran a year ago. Its missing leader and senior officials are afraid of the Iranian people. They know that a nationwide uprising can bring their rule to an end.
This criminal regime and its Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) have dragged our country into war and put Iran’s future at risk. The IRGC controls much of the country, steals its wealth, and is responsible for much of the economic crisis and insecurity we face today.
They have left our people without enough food, without security, and without hope for the future. They are willing to destroy Iran to stay in power.
Our country has already suffered too much. We cannot allow more destruction. We must stand together and do everything we can to save Iran.
We have a clear plan to end the Islamic Republic and manage the country after it falls. Our plan will maintain security and stability, protect people’s basic freedoms, and make sure their essential needs are met.
To those serving in the military, police, and security forces: stand with the people, not the regime. Join the nation when the time comes to free Iran. Those who do so will be guaranteed safety and protection from reprisals. But those who continue to support the regime and commit crimes against our people will face justice under the law.
This time, I call not only on military and government personnel, but on Iranians from every walk of life who have had enough of this regime and seek a free and prosperous future for our country. Join us. Contact my team directly through https://t.co/HRfluL4sy4 on Telegram and sign up today for the National Cooperation Campaign to Save Iran.
Together, we can bring the Islamic Republic to an end and build a new future of freedom, peace, and prosperity for Iran.
Long live Iran
Reza Pahlavi
Side by side across the globe: Iranians unite for the liberation of their homeland.
Global rallies and gatherings by the Iranian diaspora over the past week, bringing the voices of their compatriots inside Iran to the world.
BREAKING:
"Noble and Brave Nation of Iran,
The Islamic Republic today is no longer the regime that ruled Iran one year ago. This regime is now weaker than ever before, and its missing leader and other ringleaders fear nothing more than the power of the Iranian people; they fear a nationwide and effective uprising that would end the life of this satanic regime.
This criminal sect and its terrorist IRGC have dragged our beloved homeland into war and endangered Iran's very existence. The IRGC's domination over the pillars of the country and the plundering of national resources are the primary causes of the worsening economic and security situation in Iran.
These scoundrels have left the people with neither bread, nor security, nor hope for the future. To preserve their power, they are willing to sacrifice Iran and the Iranian people.
But our wounded and suffering homeland can no longer endure further losses. We must join hands and seize every opportunity to save Iran.
We have plans both for overthrowing the Islamic Republic and for governing Iran afterward; a clear plan aimed at preserving the country's security and stability during the transition period, guaranteeing the people's fundamental freedoms, and meeting the essential needs of citizens.
To the military, law enforcement, and security forces: Join the nation and stand with the people on the day of Iran's liberation to receive amnesty. But if you remain alongside the oppressors and participate in crimes against the people, you will be held accountable before the law and justice.
This time, I invite not only the military and government forces, but all Iranians from all walks of life who are fed up with this regime and seek a free and prosperous future for Iran, to connect directly with my team via Telegram at https://t.co/iuxJlv0czP and join the national campaign for Iran's salvation today.
We are ready to triumph over the Islamic Republic and forge a new future for Iran, the region, and the world.
Long live Iran,
Reza Pahlavi"
ملت شریف و شجاع ایران،
جمهوری اسلامی امروز دیگر آن رژیمی نیست که یک سال پیش بر ایران حکومت میکرد. این رژیم اکنون ضعیفتر از هر زمان دیگری است و رهبرِ مفقود و دیگر سرکردگان آن، بیش از هر چیز از قدرت ملت ایران هراس دارند؛ از یک خیزش سراسری و مؤثر که به عمر این رژیم شیطانی پایان دهد.
این فرقه جنایتکار و سپاه پاسدارانِ تروریستِ آن، میهن عزیز ما را به جنگ کشانده و موجودیت ایران را به خطر انداختهاند. سلطه سپاه بر ارکان کشور و چپاول منابع ملی، عامل اصلی وخامت روزافزون وضعیت اقتصادی و امنیتی ایران است.
این تبهکاران، نه نانی برای مردم باقی گذاشتهاند، نه امنیتی و نه امیدی به آینده. آنها برای حفظ قدرت خود، حاضرند ایران و ایرانی را قربانی کنند.
اما میهن زخمخورده و رنجور ما، دیگر تابِ تحملِ خسارتهای بیشتر را ندارد. ما باید دست در دست هم بگذاریم و از هر فرصتی برای نجات ایران بهره ببریم.
ما هم برای سرنگونی جمهوری اسلامی و هم برای اداره ایران پس از آن برنامه داریم؛ برنامهای روشن با هدف حفظ امنیت و ثبات کشور در دوران گذار، تضمین آزادیهای اساسی مردم و تامین نیازهای ضروری شهروندان.
خطاب به نیروهای نظامی، انتظامی و امنیتی: به ملت بپیوندید و در روز آزادی ایران در کنار مردم بایستید تا اماننامه دریافت کنید. اما اگر همچنان در کنار سرکوبگران بمانید و در جنایت علیه مردم مشارکت کنید، در برابر قانون و عدالت پاسخگو خواهید شد.
من این بار، نه فقط از نیروهای نظامی و دولتی، بلکه از همه ایرانیان، از اقشار گوناگون، که از این رژیم به ستوه آمدهاند و خواهان آیندهای آزاد و آباد برای ایران هستند، دعوت میکنم از طریق نشانی https://t.co/HRfluL4sy4 در تلگرام، مستقیماً با تیم من ارتباط برقرار کنند و همین امروز به کارزار همکاری ملی برای نجات ایران بپیوندند.
ما آمادهایم تا بر جمهوری اسلامی پیروز شویم و آیندهای تازه برای ایران، منطقه و جهان رقم بزنیم.
پاینده ایران،
رضا پهلوی
King Reza Pahlavi just laid out the choice facing every Iranian, including those still in uniform.
The regime is weaker than it has ever been. Its missing leader and senior officials fear the Iranian people more than anything else. The IRGC has dragged the country into war and is ready to destroy Iran to stay in power. There is no bread left, no security, and no future under this system.
He has a plan for the day after: security and stability during the transition, basic freedoms protected, and essential needs met. He is calling on military, police, and security forces to stand with the people and receive protection. Those who keep killing for the regime will face justice. He is also calling on ordinary Iranians who have had enough to join the national effort now, through his team on Telegram.
This is the clearest call yet for coordinated action inside and outside the country. The regime’s own officials already admit they are in an existential fight. Pahlavi is offering the alternative: Iranians taking their country back, with a plan that prioritizes order and people’s lives over revenge.
The Islamic regime is preparing to hang ANOTHER innocent January protester, Hassan Golshan-Nejad, on fabricated charges of “spying for Israel.”
His only "crime" is daring to demand his freedom.
MAKE HIS NAME HEARD.
HELP SAVE HIS LIFE.
