Tehran:<\/strong> Speaking in a statement circulated among Iranian diaspora groups and international media platforms, Reza Pahlavi argued that the Islamic Republic was \u201cat its weakest point in decades\u201d and that sustained internal unrest had opened a historic window for democratic change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Iranian people are risking their lives every day for freedom. This is not the time for silence or half-measures. The United States, under President Donald Trump\u2019s leadership, has both the moral responsibility and the strategic leverage to act decisively,\u201d Pahlavi said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Reza Pahlavi clarified that his appeal was not for direct military intervention, but for strong political, economic, and diplomatic pressure combined with explicit support for Iran\u2019s protest movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat Iranians are asking for is not foreign troops on Iranian soil,\u201d he said. He praised Trump\u2019s earlier \u201cmaximum pressure\u201d policy on Iran, claiming it had significantly weakened the ruling establishment in Tehran and exposed what he called the regime\u2019s \u201cstructural fragility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pahlavi sharply criticised Western governments, including sections of the US and European leadership, for what he described as appeasement<\/em> of Tehran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNegotiating with a regime that shoots its own citizens in the streets is not diplomacy\u2014it is betrayal,\u201d he said. He warned that continued engagement without accountability would embolden Iran\u2019s leadership and increase regional instability, particularly in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reza Pahlavi reiterated that he does not seek the restoration of the monarchy but envisions a democratic, secular Iran chosen by its people through a free referendum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy role is not to rule, but to help unite Iranians around a peaceful transition,\u201d he said. Addressing Donald Trump directly, Pahlavi said the former US president had a unique opportunity to shape history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMr. President, you can stand on the right side of history by standing with the Iranian people,\u201d he said. Pahlavi concluded by urging Iranian citizens, especially the youth and security forces, to remain united and resist repression peacefully, stating that \u201cthe fall of fear is the beginning of freedom.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tehran:Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran\u2019s last monarch Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, has called for what he described as urgent and decisive intervention by former US President Donald Trump to address Iran\u2019s deepening political and humanitarian crisis.
