Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi announced six demands of the international community and the Iranian diaspora to support protesters and activists within the country, in a post on his official X/Twitter on Thursday evening.
"All activities, whether gatherings, sit-ins, and marches, or engagement and correspondence with decision-makers and lawmakers, or informing the public through the media and online networks, must be focused around these six demands," he insisted.
The first demand is to "protect the people of Iran by weakening the regime’s machinery of repression, especially by targeting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), its commanders, its command structure, and its infrastructure."
He also called on political echelons of allied countries to institute "maximum economic pressure by blocking the regime’s assets around the world and targeting its clandestine network of oil tankers, known as the “shadow fleet."
Pahlavi requested that Elon Musk and others with such capabilities "provide internet for Iran through Starlink and other secure communications tools, and disable the regime’s ability to shut down the internet."

Pahlavi's desired demand for the end of the protests is to "expel the regime’s diplomats and pursue legal action against perpetrators of crimes against humanity."
He also called for "the immediate and unconditional release" of all political prisoners.
Pahlavi, additionally, reaffirmed his desire for Iran and anti-regime allies to prepare for a democratic transition within the country and to later recognize "a legitimate transitional government."
Addressing the Iranian diaspora and their efforts in anti-regime activism, Pahlavi said that the "large and remarkable marches in recent days, in all corners of the world, from Australia to across Europe, to Canada and the United States, have given strength and hope to our brave compatriots in our occupied homeland."
"Your voice is the voice of the Iranian nation. I am grateful and appreciative. Today, at a time when the Islamic Republic, through ruthless killings and martial law, has raised the cost of people taking to the streets in Iran, your responsibility to rally international support for our compatriots is heavier than ever," he affirmed.
"The importance of your role is greater than at any time before. The continuation of your activities is necessary and essential, and they must be broader, more coordinated, more cohesive, and more purpose-driven," he stated.
Pahlavi also called on all activists to "remain united under Iran's Lion and Sun flag," which has been used by anti-regime activists, particularly those supporting Pahlavi's efforts to start a democratic transition.
Pahlavi calls on anti-regime protesters to 'align, coordinate' to maximise effectiveness
"Set aside personal differences. Avoid parallel efforts and separate programs in the same city. Align and coordinate your efforts so they are more effective," he requested.
"Remember that, in the eyes of the world, you are representatives of the great Iranian nation. Your conduct must be worthy, civilized, and consistent with Iran's ethics and culture. My team and I are closely following your coordinated activities," he added.
"Soon, programs related to the 'Global Day of Action and Solidarity with Iran’s National Uprising' will be announced. The eyes of our honorable compatriots in Iran, who are bound under the occupying regime of the Islamic Republic, are on us. Let us join hands so their suffering may end sooner, and so they may reach the day of freedom and prosperity they deserve. That day is closer than ever. Long live Iran!" he concluded.
