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
It's finally happening!!!
Honored to help out my friends at @SonySantaMonica by scoring their official announcement teaser for the #GodOfWar trilogy remake.
And that's not the only God of War news today...

With more confirmations coming in about what happened at Meta and it becoming clear that VR gaming is no longer a priority for them, it feels right to acknowledge Camouflaj and the talented people who worked there.
With Arkham Shadow, they proved that this series can still work, still resonate, and still be great when it is handled with care, respect for the lore, and genuine love for Batman and the fans. There are so many stories still worth telling in the Arkham universe, and Arkham Shadow showed that clearly, with amazing performances across the board from Roger Craig Smith, Troy Baker, Tara Strong and the rest of the cast.
Camouflaj also pulled off something that honestly felt impossible. They made freeflow combat work in VR in a way that is fluid and powerful, truly making you feel like a force of nature as Batman. VR is often dismissed as niche, and yes it's not for everyone, whether because of cost, comfort or interest. But Camouflaj showed exactly why VR can be special. Arkham Shadow delivers that experience in a way no other game does.
What hurts the most is that they did everything right. They delivered one of the best Arkham games, with one of the strongest stories in the series. They won awards, including VR Game of the Year. The game exceeded expectations internally. And yet, it still was not enough. It feels like it could have been so much more, especially knowing a sequel was already in production and would have been even more ambitious.
Now the people who made all of this possible, from the developers to leadership, including Ryan Payton, Matt Walker and so many others, are out of work. They did not deserve this ending. I hope they know how proud they should be of what they created, because they gave us one of the best Batman experiences ever made and one of the best VR games out there. After everything they poured into this project, I really hope this is not the end of the road for them, and that after this rough period they find new opportunities that value their talent and passion the way it deserves.
Thank you, Camouflaj. What you did mattered.
This is a very interesting news but now my first thought is that I wish whoever gets to finish the job in #Iran uses #GodofWar3 for inspiration because that's what they truly deserve ideally...
I will make a game of that one day I swear...
Amazon Prime's God of War series has found its Kratos in Sons of Anarchy's Ryan Hurst. Coincidentally, he also played Thor in 2022's God of War Ragnarok.
Soon you will celebrate freedom together in Iran
My dear compatriots,
Your courage, patriotism and self sacrifice in these days have earned the respect of people around the world and millions across different countries have declared their support for you. I know that those who thrive on darkness, out of fear of hearing your voice, have cut off your channels of communication with the outside world. Your message is louder than anything that can be silenced by such actions. I firmly believe that the epic scenes of your protests will sooner or later break through the wall of censorship and the true dimensions of what you have done in these days will inspire even greater astonishment and admiration worldwide.
The images that have reached the outside world in recent hours amid the blackout of communication tools of the killing of innocent protesters in Iran have broken my heart as a mother. Each child of this nation whose blood is shed revives for me the unbearable grief of losing my own children. I wish patience and strength for the mothers and fathers of Iran and consider myself united with them in mourning. I also extend my heartfelt condolences to all compatriots who have lost their loved ones in this national uprising and I wish health and recovery for the wounded and injured during these days.
At this critical juncture in Iran’s history, once again to the armed forces of Iran remember that the survival of no government and the preservation of no interest can justify the shedding of your compatriots blood. Hear the cry of anger and the roar of the protesters. Before it is too late, join your brothers and sisters and do not tie your fate to that of the killers. The free Iran of tomorrow belongs to your children as well, by spilling the blood of your compatriots, do not destroy your own future and that of your families. Know that the story of these days in our Iran will be recorded forever in the pages of history and disgrace will remain for those whose bullets tore through the chests of their compatriot brothers and sisters.
And in closing: my children, hold on to hope. Be strong and believe that soon you will celebrate freedom together in Iran and that light will prevail over darkness.

The 20 minutes has been 4 hours now and I can't believe that at this very particular moment in time if anything happens to Trump, the world will never be the same and Iran will claim to be the god for all eternity...

A tweet wasn’t enough. It’s very sad day for VR and the people who work at those studios. Meta is definitely shifting focus and who knows exactly what the plan is now but 3 of those studios made epic vr games for us and I am forever grateful👉https://t.co/vb5Tmgh6Wh
At least 12,000 people were killed in the largest killing in Iran’s contemporary history, carried out largely over two consecutive nights on January 8 and 9, Iran International’s editorial board concluded, based on a review of sources and medical data.
Iran is under a coordinated blackout aimed not only at security control but at concealing the truth, reflected in internet cuts, crippled communications, media shutdowns, and the intimidation of journalists and witnesses.
Publication was delayed until the evidence converged.
The assessment is based on a multi-stage review of information from a source close to the Supreme National Security Council; two sources in the presidential office; accounts from several sources within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Mashhad, Kermanshah and Isfahan; testimonies from eyewitnesses and families of those killed; field reports; data linked to medical centers; and information provided by doctors and nurses in multiple cities.

After watching the Iranian revolution unfold in real time over the last week it's clear to me the world is witnessing history in the making
Unfortunately, there's an uncanny lack of coverage in the mainstream West, I hope that changes
If anyone deserves support, it's Iran 🇮🇷
Best wishes to everyone in Iran. It's one of the most ancient centers of civilization and scholarship, full of generous people living without freedom while filling universities and companies around the world with talent. Iranians deserved better than this past 73 years.
