Reza Pahlavi

“We stand on the threshold of reclaiming our beloved Iran from the Islamic Republic. Khamenei and his regime have already suffered several heavy blows at your hands," Pahlavi wrote.

Major demonstrations began on December 28, when Tehran's bazaar merchants closed their shops and took to the streets in anger over the country's growing financial difficulties.

The White House talking with Reza Pahlavi could pressure Tehran and support an orderly transition of power.

Reza Pahlavi is not a unifying figure, but remains a symbol of exclusion. A spent force, he is irrelevant to Iran’s future and unqualified to lead.

He asserted that he had received “reliable reports” indicating the authorities were facing “a severe shortage of mercenaries to confront the millions of people in the streets.”

Both TIME Magazine and the BBC reported hundreds of protesters killed in Iran, with several hospitals in Tehran entering crisis mode due to an overflow of wounded patients.

Referring to the Islamic Republic's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Pahlavi said, “I am certain that he has seen these images from his hiding place and trembled in fear.”

Nikita Bier, Head of Product at X, responded to a user’s request to update the emoticon on Friday, with “Give me a few hours” before the update went into effect early on Saturday.

"Mr. President, this is an urgent and immediate call for your attention, support, and action," Pahlavi wrote on X, and asked him to "be prepared to intervene to help the people of Iran."

Isfahani emphasized that the 2022 uprising, triggered by the killing of Mahsa Amini, had a lasting impact on the population. This time, however, the protests have become even more organized.
