Iran is not the Islamic Republic.

Iran’s civilian infrastructure belongs to the Iranian people and to the future of a free Iran. The Islamic Republic’s infrastructure is the machinery of repression and terror used to keep that future from becoming reality.

Iran must be protected. The regime must be dismantled.

I ask President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu to continue targeting the regime and its apparatus of repression, while sparing the civilian infrastructure Iranians will need to rebuild our country.

With the support of the US and Israel, and above all the sacrifice of Iranian patriots, the hour of Iran’s freedom is at hand.

Long live Iran!

[Anita Anand @AnitaAnandMP]

My #G7 counterparts and I condemn in the strongest terms Iran’s unjustifiable attacks and stand firmly with our partners in the region. As we meet next week at the #G7 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, we will continue to call for the immediate and unconditional cessation of all attacks, the protection of civilians and critical infrastructure, and reaffirm our commitment to regional stability, energy security, and maritime safety.

Speaks for itself:

Feb. 25, 2026: “We are not developing long-range missiles… we have limited the range below 2,000 kilometers” — Iran’s FM Araghchi (IRNA).

March 20, 2026: Iran fires missiles at Diego Garcia—ranging 4,000 kilometers (WSJ). ⬇️

Opinion: When criminal regimes commit crimes against humanity and leave their populations pleading for protection, inaction is not neutrality, it's complicity

My dear compatriots,

To you who, over the past five decades, have been victims of injustice, torture, and repression by the Islamic Republic;

To the grieving, justice-seeking mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, sisters and brothers, whose number this tyrannical regime has increased every year, every month, and every day;

Today, with pride, and in pursuit of justice for each and every one of you, I have established the Committee for Drafting for Transitional Justice Regulations.

This committee will be tasked with drafting the regulations for a truth-finding commission and court.

The members of this committee are experienced Iranian experts spanning four different generations:

Dr. Shirin Ebadi
Mr. Iraj Mesdaghi
Dr. Leyla Bahmany
and Dr. Afshin Elian.

Dr. Ebadi has accepted the chairmanship of this committee.

Additionally, a number of the most distinguished international legal scholars will assist this committee in an advisory capacity.

Transitional justice is a critical part of our program for free Iran.

The truth will be revealed.

Justice will be served.

Light will triumph over darkness.

Long live Iran,
Reza Pahlavi

My statement on Iran-related hostilities in the Middle East:

[Iran International English @IranIntl_En]

Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand said on Saturday Ottawa wants to see a regime change in Iran.

“We will not open diplomatic relationships with Iran unless there is a regime change. Period,” she told The Globe and Mail in Germany.

[Anita Anand @AnitaAnandMP]

The Iranian people deserve freedom, accountability, and respect for their fundamental rights. At the Munich Security Conference, I met with Nazanin Boniadi to discuss the regime’s continued repression and the importance of sustained international action. Today, I also announced additional sanctions against individuals linked to the Iranian regime’s violence and transnational repression. Canada will continue to take concrete steps in support of the Iranian people.

I met with exiled Crown Prince of Iran @PahlaviReza in Munich. Ukraine supports the Iranian people as they are fighting for their future; we also express our sympathy to all the victims of the Iranian regime.

During our conversation, we focused on the situation in Iran and the areas where the Iranian people need support. We discussed the importance of strengthening sanctions against the Iranian regime and any other dictatorial regimes.

We condemned the cooperation between Russia and Iran, in particular the supply of “shaheds” by the Iranian regime to Russia and the granting of licenses for their production. Such a partnership poses a real threat not only to Ukraine but to the entire region.

I thank the Crown Prince of Iran for supporting Ukraine’s territorial integrity. It is vital to make every effort to protect human lives. Ukraine is ready to help on its part.

The documentary film "Iran’s 2026 Massacre: Inside the Kahrizak Morgue" presents unfiltered footage from inside Tehran's Kahrizak morgue, showing the bodies of those killed during the brutal crackdown on Iranian protesters in Jan 2026.

[Ali Ehsassi @AliEhsassi]

Please find a special request I respectfully forwarded to the attention of Mayor Chow to ask that we stand united in demonstrating that we fully stand with courageous Iranians in their demands for freedom and human dignity.

[Nazanin Nour @NazaninNour]

I have a feeling that a lot more people would support Iranians if they weren’t selective activists.

Or if they took the time to understand how a murderous theocracy killing, raping, and executing Iranians in the name of Islam has led to such rage against religion.

[Anita Anand @AnitaAnandMP]

The violence by the Iranian regime against its own citizens must end. Our government has already imposed sanctions on hundreds of individuals within the regime and we are working to impose additional sanctions against those who violate international law. Canada stands with the brave people of Iran, for as long as it takes.

[Anita Anand @AnitaAnandMP]

Pleased to see EU allies join Canada in listing the IRGC as a terrorist entity. Collectively, we stand with the brave people of Iran and condemn the continuous violations of their basic human rights.

[Anita Anand @AnitaAnandMP]

Reiterating here that Canada stands with the brave people of Iran. Together with our partners, the EU and Australia, we strongly condemn repression and in particular the use of violence against peaceful protesters resulting in the unnecessary loss of life. We call on the Iranian regime to end its repression and respect the human rights of all Iranians.

[Reza Pahlavi @PahlaviReza]

Regardless of background.

Regardless of political orientation.

We are united in our commitment to a democratic Iran.

Here is the statement we signed yesterday.

“We, the participants in the Convention of National Cooperation to Save Iran, convened by Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi in Munich, Germany on July 26, 2025, hereby affirm our collective and unwavering commitment to the following foundational principles:

- Iran’s territorial Integrity; 
- Protection of individual liberties and equality of all citizens; 
- Separation of religion and state; and
- Iranian people’s right to determine the future democratic form of their government.

Bound by a shared vision and a deep sense of responsibility, we pledge to collaborate in support of transition away from the current regime. Our aim is to help lay the groundwork for a democratic, free, strong, and prosperous Iran—one that reflects the will and dignity of its people and reclaims its rightful place in the global community.”

[Kasra Aarabi @KasraAarabi]

Why didn’t Iranians rise up during Israel’s war with the regime?🇮🇷🇮🇱

It wasn’t lack of dissent. It was control — a suppressive apparatus embedded in every layer of society.

@SaeidGolkar & I expose the regime’s vast security web silencing Iranians.
