Maziyar (Maximilian) Jazani, an Iranian-French lawyer and the son of Bijan Jazani, one of the founding members of the Fedai guerrilla group (Fadaiyan-e-Khalq), and among the most prominent leftist opponents of the Shah, speaks about the journey that led him to support Iran’s Lion and Sun revolution and Prince Reza Pahlavi.
His story is a reminder that what will shape Iran’s future is not our different pasts, but our shared commitment to a common destination. The Lion and Sun revolution belongs to every Iranian who places freedom, prosperity, and the establishment of a national democratic government above past divisions, political affiliations, or ideological differences.
During the meeting, Prince Reza Pahlavi and Mr. Jazani also discussed legal cooperation and exchanged views on the Iran Prosperity Project.

@AndyJehring
The voices of the Iranian people deserve to be heard.
In today’s Daily Mail, @NatalieLisbona and @AndyJehring shine a light on the human cost of the Islamic Republic’s brutality and the determination of Iranians who continue to fight for freedom despite unimaginable repression.
What makes this piece especially important is the reporters’ direct access to Iranians inside the country. They bring first-hand testimony from people living through the repression, fear, grief, and anger, voices the world too often fails to hear.
'I promise you the next protest will be even more extensive than the January protests,' a man in Tehran, who lost his cousin and a friend in the massacre said over the phone.
'More people are ready now , especially the family and friends of those who lost loved ones and who didn't participate last time.'
سونیا دهقانی، فرزند جاویدنام سجاد دهقانی، در پیامی ویدئویی از بندرعباس خطاب به شاهزاده رضا پهلوی، میگوید:
«امیدوارم هر چه زودتر به ایران بیایید و یک بار بغلتان کنم. پاینده ایران و تا همیشه جاوید شاه.»
A letter from Tehran to President Trump:
"Please support the Iranians right to choose their own future. We are not asking anyone to decide our future for us. We ask only that you stand with us in supporting the Iranian people's right to determine their future."
نامهای «از قلب تهران» به پرزیدنت ترامپ:
«لطفا از حق مردم ایران برای انتخاب آینده خود حمایت کنید. ما از هیچکس نمیخواهیم به جای ما تصمیم بگیرد. تنها میخواهیم در حمایت از حق تعیین سرنوشت مردم ایران در کنار ما بایستید.»
شاپور باستانسیر، آهنگساز و رهبر ارکستر از مسیری میگوید که او را پس از سالها فعالیت هنری و تجربههای سیاسی متفاوت، به انقلاب ملی شیر و خورشید به رهبری شاهزاده رضا پهلوی رسانده است.
آقای باستانسیر در دیدار با شاهزاده رضا پهلوی، با اشاره به پنجاهوهشت سال سابقه هنری خود، از همکاری پیشینش با «شورای ملی مقاومت» (وابسته به سازمان مجاهدین خلق) و سپس فاصله گرفتن از این جریان سخن گفت.
او توضیح داد که با دنبال کردن سخنان و مواضع شاهزاده رضا پهلوی، و بهویژه رویکرد او نسبت به کسانی که تا همین اواخر با خاندان پهلوی مخالف بودهاند، به این نتیجه رسیده است که «ظرف انقلاب ملی» هر روز گستردهتر میشود؛ ظرفی که میتواند تجربهها، تواناییها و پیشینههای متفاوت را در مسیر آزادی ایران گرد هم آورد.
در این دیدار، شاهزاده رضا پهلوی نیز گفت که گذشته افراد معیار قضاوت نیست؛ آنچه اهمیت دارد، کاری است که امروز برای آزادی ایران حاضرند انجام دهند. ایشان همچنین تاکید کرد که این حرکت ملی به روی همه کسانی که به اصول مشترک تمامیت ارضی ایران، جدایی دین از حکومت، آزادی و برابری شهروندان، و دموکراسی و حق انتخاب مردم پایبندند، باز است.
در ادامه، درباره نقش هنر، موسیقی و ظرفیت هنرمندان ایرانی در تقویت همبستگی ملی و پیشبرد مبارزه برای آزادی ایران گفتوگو و تبادل نظر شد.
Shapour Bastansiar, an Iranian composer and orchestra conductor, reflects on the journey that brought him, after 58 years in the arts and a complex political past, to Iran’s Lion and Sun National Revolution under the leadership of Prince Reza Pahlavi.
During their meeting, Bastansir spoke openly about his former association with the “National Council of Resistance”, an organisation affiliated with the MEK, and his eventual decision to distance himself from that movement.
After closely following Prince Reza Pahlavi’s speeches and positions, particularly his willingness to welcome those who previously opposed the Pahlavi family, Mr Bastansiar said he had come to see Iran’s national movement as an increasingly broad and inclusive coalition.
It is a movement capable of bringing together Iranians with different political histories, experiences, and talents around one shared objective: the liberation of Iran.
Prince Reza Pahlavi emphasized that people should not be judged solely by their past. What matters is what they are prepared to do today for Iran’s freedom.
He reaffirmed that the movement is open to all who embrace its core principles: Iran’s territorial integrity, the separation of religion and state, equality before the law, individual liberties, democracy, and the Iranian people’s right to choose their own future.
They also discussed the role of art, music, and Iranian artists in strengthening national unity and advancing the struggle for a free Iran.
