Reza Pahlavi: Transition Officials and Interim Government Will Be Introduced After Regime’s Fall

Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi spoke about transition officials and the interim government and their introduction after the fall of the Islamic Republic regime.

Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, in an interview with the “Iran Constitutional Party Liberal Democrats,” discussed the transition period, interim government, and the constituent assembly after the fall of the Islamic Republic regime. In response to the question “How do you envision the transition government, what forces are involved in it, and how should Iran be governed,” he said: “A careful examination of how pieces will be positioned in that phase depends on the cooperation that we are currently discussing among cadres inside and outside the country to coordinate and develop a roadmap for the transition period within the country after the regime’s collapse.

I can say very clearly and in a very novel way, most of the forces that will be in the capacity of interim cadres managing the transition period in the country, whether in the interim government and temporary administration of the country’s affairs, whether in laying the groundwork for the constituent assembly elections where people’s representatives will come to that assembly and will examine what the constitution and the form of the system and its content will be in the future or how it should be, are inside Iran.”

He added: “Most of them are people who cannot appear publicly now, because they would be immediately suppressed. In this group, there are administrators, civil servants, technocrats, bureaucrats, and all the intellectual forces of society including academics, lawyers, journalists, civil and political activists who are also in this group and will come and take the matter in hand.

Now, if greater political organization can be provided during this interval so that even political parties can start planning from now on, so that in the future when we are supposed to hold elections to determine subsequent governments, the presence of people through their membership in these parties can take place.

All these issues can be thought about from now on. In any case, during the transition period, it is very clear that most of those forming the interim government or the cadres that should be involved, most of them are currently inside Iran and many of them will reveal themselves in time, but at the beginning they need a point of support outside because they cannot openly be present inside, and they will entrust this representation and proxy to those who are outside the country and with much greater freedom can carry out these tasks to move this stage of work forward until it reaches the transition phases. At that time, the forces will reach each other and all will continue the work from inside Iran.”
