Iran’s exiled crown prince, Reza Pahlavi, on Sunday issued a fresh message for Iranians amid massive demonstrations and crackdown against protestors in the Khamenei-led country. Pahlavi, the son of the last Shah of Iran, renewed his call for protests in the country, urging people to “not abandon” the streets.
Pahlavi also assured Iranians that their voices were being echoed across the world by compatriots. The exiled Iranian leader also heaped praise on US President Donald Trump for his support to the people of Iran.
“In particular President Trump, as the leader of the free world, has closely observed your indescribable bravery and has declared that he is ready to help you. Do not abandon the streets. My heart is with you. I know that I will soon be by your side,” Pahlavi said in his new video message for Iranians, posted on his X handle.
The fresh video comes even as internet blackout continues in Iran and the death toll amid protests and violence in the country climbed to 116, a figure reported by news agency AP.
Reza Pahlavi is the son of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran, and Empress Farah Diba. It was after his last call to Iranians to head out to the streets and “claim spaces” that demonstrations intensified in the country on Friday.
His Sunday message comes hours after Donald Trump said that the US was “ready to help”, after he acknowledged the Iranians’ demand for freedom.
