Direct and Explicit Address by Prince Reza Pahlavi to Ali Khamenei Regarding Suppression and Inevitable Accountability
Following the escalation of public protests, bloody crackdowns, and emphasis on the inevitable accountability of those responsible for crimes, Prince Reza Pahlavi directly and explicitly warned Ali Khamenei.
Prince Reza Pahlavi, this morning, Tuesday, January 20, 2024, corresponding to 20 Dey, released an explicit and unprecedented message directly addressing Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic, holding him primarily responsible for the crackdowns, killing of protesters, and crimes against the Iranian people. This message was released at a time when public protests in Iran continue despite security pressures and widespread suppression.
In this message, Prince Reza Pahlavi, while emphasizing that the names of the perpetrators and agents of suppression have been recorded in history, spoke of the end of impunity for those responsible for crimes and outlined a future based on national justice. He also, by addressing the Iranian people, emphasizes the continuation of struggle, national unity, and the proximity of the end of the Islamic Republic.
The full text of Prince Reza Pahlavi’s message is as follows:
“My address is to Ali Khamenei, the leader of the occupying regime of Iran. You are an anti-Iranian criminal. You have neither honor nor humanity. Your hands are stained with the blood of tens of thousands of Iranians; the blood of children, youth, and the innocent. You, your regime, and all your mercenaries will answer for every drop of blood you have shed, without exception! We do not forgive, we do not forget, and we do not retreat.
Just as Nazi criminals were tried and punished at Nuremberg, you and your accomplices will be tried and punished in the court of the Iranian nation.
Your end is disgrace, eternal shame. No crime goes unanswered. Your name has been recorded, the names of all commanders, perpetrators, and your accomplices. There is no escape, you will have nowhere to hide. The killers of the Iranian people will have no immunity. And now, you, great people of Iran! My brave children, my grieving yet steadfast sisters and brothers: You are not alone. Your steadfastness has changed history. You stand at the forefront of Iran’s freedom, and we are closer than ever to the end of this regime. This regime has faltered, its power is exhausted, and its collapse has begun. Believe in yourselves, in your unity, in your courage, in your greatness.
This regime can no longer silence our awakened and risen people, it cannot impose fear upon Iran. This regime fears you and your power. We will not allow our sorrow to turn into despair.
My fellow countrymen! The mourning for the loss of Iran’s finest children is heavy. But we will transform this mourning into conscious anger and an unbreakable will against Khamenei and all his domestic and foreign agents. Be prepared, the moment to return to the streets will come, broader, stronger, and more determined than ever for the conquest of Tehran, for the reclamation of Iran.
The continuation of this struggle until final victory is not only a national duty, but a covenant with those who died for freedom and their pure blood. Their names will not be forgotten, neither in history, nor in national memory, nor in our hearts.
That day is not far, the day when we celebrate together the reclamation of Iran and say with pride: We stood, we fought, and we won.
Long live Iran!”
