Opinion | Where Iraq and Libya lacked historical continuity, national cohesion, and institutional legitimacy, Iran possesses all three. That is why US engagement with Iran would succeed where Iraq and Libya failed.

My fellow Iranians, the great and courageous people of Iran,

Today, as tensions rise and the possibility of escalating military attacks grows, particularly in the south of the country, I wish to speak with you; especially with the noble people of Sistan and Baluchestan, Hormozgan, Bushehr, Khuzestan, and all those living along the shores of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Makran.

The war and crisis our country faces today has one single cause: the Islamic Republic.

But the main war, the Islamic Republic's war against the Iranian people, began forty-seven years ago and has continued to this day.

All of the Iranian people have been wounded by this regime. Let us not allow anyone to say that southern Iran has only now entered the war. Southern Iran entered the war from the very day that Baluch children fell victim to crocodiles seeking water due to a lack of basic infrastructure; from the day that in Sistan and Baluchestan, the land of Rostam and the heart of Iran's mythology, young people were forced into fuel smuggling just to survive; from the day that Hormozgan province and Bandar Abbas, Iran's largest port, were abandoned to poverty and deprivation; from the day that Bushehr, which supplies a large share of the country's gas, and Khuzestan, the heart of Iran's oil industry, were deprived of the wealth they produced.

But a free Iran will be a different Iran.

With the establishment of a national, capable and development-oriented government, Sistan and Baluchestan, drawing on its strategic location, its young workforce, and its access to open waters, can become one of the main engines of the country's growth and prosperity. Chabahar can be the heart of Iran's trade and the gateway connecting the Indian Ocean, Central Asia, and global markets, by reviving the very same comprehensive plan that was to be implemented before the catastrophe of 1979.

Hormozgan, Bushehr, Khuzestan, and the islands of the Persian Gulf can, through the development of trade, tourism, industry, and the attraction of investment, become the wealthiest and most advanced regions of Iran.

My fellow Iranians,

This warmongering regime has built no shelters for the people, nor does it have the capacity to defend the country's skies. Its leaders, hiding underground, are making military use of schools, hospitals, and other civilian centers, and have turned the Iranian people, including conscript soldiers in their garrisons, into human shields.

In the war that the Islamic Republic has imposed on the country, your first and most important duty is to preserve the lives, safety, and wellbeing of yourselves and your families. For you are Iran's most precious asset and the true soldiers of the battle to reclaim the homeland.

In this regard, my communications and media office will be publishing necessary guidance and recommendations to help keep fellow Iranians safe.

Fighting toward and preparing for ultimate victory is a constant duty. In the final battle, the stronger we are and the weaker the Islamic Republic becomes, the faster and less costly our victory will be.

Long live Iran.

[Reza Pahlavi @PahlaviReza]

Six months ago, tonight, Tehran went dark. All of Iran went dark. And into that darkness, millions of Iranians walked out of their homes anyway.

January 8th and 9th were not just two nights of protest. They were the night Iran's silence broke. Millions came into the streets, into the squares, onto their rooftops — but the regime answered them with bullets. Tens of thousands of my compatriots were killed in those forty-eight hours. Tens of thousands more have been arrested, tortured, and sentenced to die since.

They came out, determined and brave. I think of them every day. On those two nights I lost countrymen I will never get to meet. I do not hear a statistic when I hear the number 40,000. I see a son who did not come home to his mother. A daughter who will not sit at her family's table again. I think of each of them the way I would think of my own child, my own brother, my own sister. I carry the weight of every one of those names. But the families of the fallen I meet with, week after week, hearten our nation's will to carry on. Their children did not die in vain. They died for freedom, and they died with pride.

History will remember what these men and women did; I will make sure of it. Like the resistance who stood against tyranny in occupied Europe, and like the revolutionaries who fought for liberty in America. But theirs was a particular bravery. They had no army, no air cover, nothing but the belief in what they stood for. They stood anyway. A united nation choosing to face the guns together rather than live one more day in fear. The men and women of the 8th and 9th of January will be remembered in Iran's history as the greatest generation that preferred to die free and standing than to live cowered on their knees.

To the international community, I ask this: do not let a negotiating table in Geneva or Islamabad erase what happened in the streets of Tehran, Mashhad, and Kermanshah. They died for freedom. And when they are free, the Strait of Hormuz will open. The nuclear threat will end. And we will have true peace.

I have told my compatriots: what you did on January 8th and 9th cannot be undone. Together, we will reclaim our country’s rightful place in the world, our national dignity, and honor the lives of our heroes. Now is the time to reassess, regroup, and rededicate ourselves to victory.

We honor the fallen by finishing what they started. A free Iran is no longer a matter of hope. It is a matter of fact.

And know that my brave compatriots are not just fighting for their own liberation but for the peace and stability of the world.

[Reza Pahlavi @PahlaviReza]

While the Islamic Republic's warmongers hide in Tehran and their safe havens, they have abandoned conscript soldiers and young troops in defenseless garrisons, without even the means to protect them. This regime has once again shown that when forced to choose between the lives of Iran's sons and its own survival, it will always choose its own survival.

The Islamic Republic has imposed this war on the Iranian nation, and the responsibility for the lives of all its victims, including the soldiers at Bampur garrison, rests with this very regime. We all wish for peace, security, and tranquility for all Iranians, but as long as this regime remains in power, neither lasting security nor genuine peace is possible.

This criminal regime is more concerned with preserving Hezbollah in Lebanon and its other proxy forces in the region than with the safety of the Iranian people. For this regime, the survival of its terrorist arms matters more than the security and lives of the people of Ahvaz, Zahedan, Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, Chabahar, and all of Iran.

So I speak to Iran's soldiers, officers, and all patriotic forces: do not risk your lives for the survival of the Islamic Republic. Your oath is to Iran, not to a regime whose leaders flee in moments of danger and leave you defenseless and abandoned.

I extend my deepest condolences to the bereaved families of the conscript soldiers who lost their lives in the recent attacks on Islamic Republic military installations, and I ask the families of all conscripts to do everything in their power to prevent their children from being sent to serve under these dangerous conditions. No mother or father should send their child to garrisons that have today become killing fields rather than places of service and duty.

These young people are the children of this land, not human shields for the Islamic Republic. They should not pay with their lives for the survival of a failing government.

I also sincerely thank the noble people of Iranshahr and Zahedan who rushed to donate blood and assist the wounded soldiers of Bampur garrison. This national solidarity is a reminder of the truth that the Iranian people, even in their darkest days, do not abandon their own children.

Iran needs its children alive, to build a future that is free, prosperous, and proud.

We Iranians living in diaspora may have left Iran, but Iran has never left us!

Once this evil mullah regime is removed from the face of the earth, millions of us will return to Iran to rebuild & rehabilitate the land of Cyrus the Great after 47 years. Iran will be great again!

[Reza Pahlavi @PahlaviReza]

I welcome the UK Government’s move to designate the IRGC as a state threat to national security, involved in threats to life and intimidation. This is an important and welcome move by @keir_starmer and reflects the growing threat from the regime in Iran to UK citizens and interests. I hope the UK and other Western governments will go one step further and back the Iranian people’s fight for freedom. There can be no peace as long as this regime survives.

IRGC-linked media claims responsibility for Lindsey Graham's death.

Whether it's them or not, I can't stress enough that when they promise to murder someone, they are dead serious.

[Reza Pahlavi @PahlaviReza]

I am deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, a steadfast friend of the Iranian people and a proud defender of freedom.

At moments when moral clarity was required, Senator Graham stood on the right side. When friends were seldom found, he stood alongside the people of Iran in their struggle against tyranny.

He used his voice to ensure that the voices of those fighting for justice were heard in the halls of power. His support for Iran’s Lion and Sun Revolution earned him the title “Uncle Lindsey” among Iranians. He will be remembered with profound gratitude and deep respect.

We extend our deepest condolences to Senator Graham’s family, loved ones, colleagues, and the people of South Carolina and the United States.

May he rest in peace and may others carry on the fight for freedom.

[Reza Behrouz @RBehrouzDO]

Rest in peace, Senator.
What a sad day.

The islamic regime in Iran has tried to murder Salman Rushdie for decades.

As of today, he has outlived both ayatollahs, despite their worst attempts and one almost successful assassination attempt.

They are dead, Salman lives.

Light triumphs over darkness.

What is going on at VOA Farsi? Silencing the voice of Iranians isn’t good journalism and it certainly isn’t in the interest of the United States either. Do better!

در بخش فارسی صدای آمریکا (VOA) چه خبر است؟ خاموش کردن صدای ایرانیان نشانه‌ی روزنامه‌نگاری درست نیست و مطمئناً به نفع آمریکا هم نیست.باید عملکرد بهتری داشته باشید!

Six months ago.

42,000 Iranians slaughtered.

Never forget.

[Reza Pahlavi Communications @PahlaviComms]

This was not a spontaneous crackdown.
It was a planned massacre by a regime at war with the Iranian nation.

[Navid Mohebbi نوید محبی @navidmohebbi]

Her Majesty Empress Farah Pahlavi announced that this year’s memorial ceremony for the late Shah of Iran in Egypt will be limited to members of the Pahlavi family due to security concerns and regional instability. She asked Iranians not to attend and to respect the Egyptian government’s decision, adding that she will pay tribute to the Shah on behalf of all Iranians.

I hope this restriction is not the result of pressure from the mullahs’ regime.

To the foreign representatives in Tehran to mourn Iran’s deceased dictator, Ali Khamenei: Iran is not mourning him.

Iran is mourning more than 40,000 sons and daughters slaughtered on January 8 and 9 by Khamenei, Ghalibaf, and their machinery of repression.

The regime is spending vast amounts of the Iranian people's wealth to stage this propaganda spectacle, yet not a single democratic leader attended.

What you see today is not a nation in grief for its ruler. It is a nation filled with righteous anger, and that anger and heroic bravery will bring down what remains of this criminal regime.
