Prince Reza Pahlavi Addresses System Forces: “Stand With the People, Not Against Them”

Prince Reza Pahlavi addressed military, law enforcement, and security forces, saying: “Stand with the people, not against them.”

On Tuesday, June 24, Prince Reza Pahlavi issued a message on the social media platform X, emphasizing the collapse of the Islamic Republic system, and called on military, law enforcement, and security forces to stand alongside the people rather than against them.

Prince Pahlavi wrote in his message: “We are now in the final stage of a fateful struggle against the Islamic Republic. A regime that today is dozens of times weaker and more humiliated than it was just two weeks ago and is on the brink of collapse. However, it is the duty of the Iranian people to continue this difficult path with courage, solidarity, and sacrifice until complete victory and finish the job.”

He also addressed the system’s forces, saying: “Refuse to execute oppressive orders against the people. If you commit crimes, the fate that awaited those criminals whose hands were stained with the blood of the nation awaits you. Know that every action you take is being monitored. This is your last chance and this is a serious warning.”

Reza Pahlavi also addressed the international community regarding the Islamic Republic regime, saying: “Do not save this corrupt, terrorist, and collapsing regime. Do not strengthen a regime that will soon turn its weapons, assassinations, and missiles toward you again. Do not prevent the collapse of the Islamic Republic; instead, stand with the Iranian people and protect them from the retribution and violence of the ‘declining regime.'”

In this context, following the ceasefire announcement by Netanyahu and Trump, Republican Senator “Kevin Cramer” said in an interview: “My view regarding Iran’s leader is that either he steps aside or fundamentally changes his perspective toward the world. But my main message is addressed to the Iranian people: this moment is yours, this opportunity is yours. You have long sought regime change and now this opportunity has been provided. In my opinion, Iranians have a rare opportunity to change their leadership. The only real way to change Iran’s future course is to change its leaders.”

Senator Cramer also stated: “I do not believe the United States is seeking to send military forces to Iran or intends to impose anything, but I think the Iranian people now have a moment and opportunity to take action themselves.”

Referring to Donald Trump’s post about China’s continued purchase of Islamic Republic oil, he continued: “Donald Trump is trying to position everyone for peace. Economic opportunity actually helps create peace. If countries trade with each other and maintain economic relations, the likelihood of military conflict decreases. However, I am very skeptical about Iran’s ability and willingness to accept peaceful conditions. Therefore, I prefer that we supply the world’s oil, especially for our friends in the region.”

“Mohammad Nabavian,” Vice Chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of Parliament, also responded to messages about the regime’s fall, saying: “The empire of the Islamic Republic is rising. Until now we were a regional power. Now the Iranian people have become a global and international power. The enemy’s situation has reached a point where they have asked us for a ceasefire and to stop the war.”

Since in recent days, a number of officers, system officials, soldiers, and some regime agents have not appeared at their workplaces and have refused to execute orders, and many individuals from military bases have fled and gone into hiding, senior officials of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have issued threatening orders to them and various other branches stating that “any disobedience or desertion is tantamount to a serious blow to the security of the republic and is considered treason, whether the motivation is helping the enemy or personal reasons.” Senior officials threatened that if there is disobedience and refusal to comply with orders, they will execute Basij and law enforcement forces.
