My dear compatriots,

Decisive moments lie before us.

The assistance that the President of the United States had promised to the brave people of Iran has now arrived. This is a humanitarian intervention, and its target is the Islamic Republic, its apparatus of repression, and its machinery of killing—not the country and great nation of Iran.

However, despite the arrival of this assistance, the final victory will still be achieved by us. It is we, the people of Iran, who will finish this task in this final battle. The time to return to the streets is approaching.

Now that the Islamic Republic is collapsing, my message to the country’s military, law enforcement, and security forces is clear:

You have sworn an oath to protect Iran and the Iranian nation, not the Islamic Republic and its leaders. Your duty is to defend the people, not to defend a regime that has taken our homeland hostage through repression and crime. Join the nation and help ensure a stable and secure transition. Otherwise, you will sink with Khamenei’s ship and his crumbling regime.

And my message to the President of the United States, President Trump, is this:

The honorable people of Iran, despite the brutal repression and killings carried out by this regime, stood bravely for nearly two months. I now ask you to exercise the utmost possible caution to preserve the lives of civilians and my compatriots. The people of Iran are your natural allies and the allies of the free world, and they will not forget your assistance during the most difficult period of Iran’s contemporary history.

And to you, my dear compatriots in Iran:

In these sensitive hours and days, more than ever we must remain focused on our ultimate goal: reclaiming Iran.

I ask you, for now, to remain in your homes and remain calm and safe. Stay alert and ready to return to the streets for the final action at the appropriate time, which I will communicate to you.

Follow my messages through social media and satellite media. If disruptions occur in the internet and satellite broadcasts, I will remain in contact with you via radio.

We are very close to final victory. I hope to be with you as soon as possible so that together we may reclaim Iran and rebuild it.

Long live Iran.
Reza Pahlavi

Mississippi went from 49th to 9th in their reading scores - known as the “Mississippi Miracle.” Tennessee, Louisiana, and Alabama adopted the same (phonics) model and are seeing similar gains for their kids. It works. What are we waiting for?

We need the courage to stand by our kids. China is not holding back America’s kids. That’s on all of us. It’s time to put American children first.

Thank you, Governor Whitman!!!

I couldn’t be happier to no longer be NJ’s only woman governor. Congratulations, Governor-elect @MikieSherrill, I know you’re going to do great things for our state! #Election2025

Oh my gosh! Pierre Robert! A most welcome and recognized voice when returning home after a 20+ year hiatus from Jersey. RIP Pierre

We’re heartbroken to share the passing of our dear friend and legendary voice, Pierre Robert. You will be missed beyond words.

@bariweiss Yes! "Freedom with responsibility"!! I'm in.

[Carolyn K Colella @ckelly53]

Thank you, Governor Murphy. Unequivocally condemning political violence is the choice of action for us all 🙏

[Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy]

Horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk today in Utah. We must unequivocally condemn political violence.

Please pray for Charlie, his wife, and children.

[Carolyn K Colella @ckelly53]

Thank you, Governor! "Politics has become a disease in this country, and it’s deadly. But don’t listen to the pessimists who say there is no cure." Yes, there is a cure inside all of us.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

My heart is with Charlie Kirk’s family, and with the United States.

Politics has become a disease in this country, and it’s deadly. But don’t listen to the pessimists who say there is no cure.

There is a cure. It is inside of us. We must find our better angels and walk back from the extremes. If we can’t agree on anything else, we must find agreement that we don’t solve our debates with violence.

This is a horrible tragedy. May it also be a moment for everyone to rediscover their humanity.

[Carolyn K Colella @ckelly53]

Yes. @mariashriver says it best. This is something WE CAN ALL CONDEMN.

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

We should all condemn political violence. A young life cut down. A young family left to pick up the pieces. This is not just is a tragedy for his family. This is a tragedy for our country. No matter where you are on political spectrum. This is something we can all condemn. This is a moment to stop, reflect, and reassess.

Gun violence must be stopped. None of us are safe.

My heart goes out to Mr. Kirk’s family.

[Carolyn K Colella @ckelly53]

Please, people. Let's UNITE. Shocking and horrible, no matter your belief system.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Larissa Olson, a 24-year-old opera singer attending the Charlie Kirk event, said Kirk had just finished talking about his belief in Jesus when he was shot. She said she didn’t see the aftermath, but that her husband “saw a ton of blood.”
