Growing Public Support for Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi as Transition from Islamic Republic Unfolds

Public support for Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi as a representative during the transition from the Islamic Republic is increasing both within Iran and abroad.

Previously, figures including Ali Karimi, Hamid Farakh-Nejad, Saeed Hafezi, and Hamid Taleb-Zade announced their approval of granting their mandate to Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi.

Ali Karimi announced on his Twitter page that those who have not yet given their mandate are awaited for your decision. Following this, the number of those who announced their approval of granting their mandate to Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi increased.

Among them, actress Parasto Salehi, Chakameh Chaman-Mah, Ronak Younesi, Mehrzad Zarei, Ahmad Bathaei, singer Shahin Najafi, Ardalan Sarfaraz, Shahram Shab-Pareh, and many others in the fields of sports and arts, as well as over 85,000 people in less than 24 hours, joined this campaign.

Dr. Amir Hamidi, former U.S. diplomat and member of the Voice of Freedom Association, also announced by releasing a video that in 1980 in Cairo, he was honored to grant his mandate to the Shah of Iran so that he could be the voice of Iran in international communities, and today his choice remains Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi for Iran’s future structure.

It should be noted that months before the outbreak of the revolutionary uprising, some political prisoners inside Iran had also raised the issue of mandate and confidence in Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. Now, the hashtags “I give my mandate” and the name “Reza Pahlavi” in Persian and English on Twitter and Instagram are increasing at a steep rate.

Furthermore, according to “Kayhan London,” the online petition for granting mandate/representation to Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, created by Ehsan Karami, has managed to collect over 140,000 signatures by the time of this report.

Where will the result of this campaign, with its supporters and opponents, ultimately lead?
