Queen Farah Pahlavi: Glory will return to our ancient land

Queen Farah Pahlavi spoke of the return of glory to the ancient land of Iran in a message at the "National Cooperation to Save Iran" conference.

This morning, Saturday, July 26, the "National Cooperation to Save Iran" conference was held in Munich, Germany, with the presence of Prince Reza Pahlavi and a group of political and social activists, artists, athletes, and activists, who numbered over 500 opponents of the Islamic Republic regime.

After the press office of Prince Reza Pahlavi issued a statement announcing the largest and most diverse gathering of opponents of the Islamic Republic to seize the opportunity for democratic change in Iran, a wide range of monarchists, republicans, and representatives of different ethnicities and religions of Iran attended the conference.

Participants in the conference issued a statement based on fundamental principles, including "preserving Iran's territorial integrity, safeguarding individual freedoms and the equality of all citizens, separating religion from the state, and determining the type of future government of Iran democratically and by the people."

The statement, while referring to Iran's need for a new, free, democratic, and open system, reads: "Relying on a shared vision and a deep sense of responsibility, we commit to working together to transition from the Islamic Republic system." They also called for ensuring the rights of the Iranian people and a worthy place for the country of Iran in the international community.

The conference began with a message from Queen Farah Pahlavi, which was broadcast to the participants in the conference hall. Queen Farah Pahlavi, while paying tribute to Iran's martyrs in the cause of freedom and expressing sympathy with the families of the victims who attended the gathering, said: "You have been suffering for more than four decades. Your right is freedom, prosperity, and honor, and your sacrifice and dedication to achieve freedom and lost rights deserve appreciation. I wish victory to all of you who have gathered to help save Iran through national cooperation."

At the end of her message, Queen Farah emphasized the unity and integrity of Iranians and added: "I believe that with national will and solidarity, greatness and glory will return to our ancient land, and the light of Iran will triumph over the darkness of the devil."

Prince Reza Pahlavi, who also attended the conference, called it one of the most diverse gatherings of the anti-regime movement that has been held abroad since the revolution. He said at the conference: “The goal is to show that more than ever, we have a growing coalition of like-minded people who want to work together. This gathering is made up of a diverse group of people and is perhaps the largest gathering that has ever represented all factions in the Iranian political sphere.”

A video message from pop star Googoosh was also released at the National Cooperation to Save Iran conference. In the message, she described Iran as “the wounded body of a mother” and addressed the Iranian people: “We are here today to respect our differences; to respect the legacy of a common belief, which is Iran. A country that is our home, and we care about our home and its inhabitants.

"Our country is wounded; like a mother whose children have gathered around her to heal her with cooperation and empathy and restore her vitality. We want our home to be whole and colorful. Just as no home is made vibrant by prison, freedom is fundamental to us; freedom of belief, freedom of lifestyle, freedom of religion, and freedom of political and intellectual opinion." Pop star Googoosh added at the end of her message: "On this path, I stand with my countrymen with all my heart."

Alireza Nourizadeh, an analyst of Iranian issues, also said about this conference: "European countries changed their approach towards Prince Reza Pahlavi by observing Iranian society and realizing his popularity among Iranians. European countries are sensing the atmosphere inside Iran and see that there is no alternative to change in Iran except Prince Reza Pahlavi, and the presence of elite Iranians at today's conference will also be effective in changing the European Union's approach."

"Lehrasab Zeynali Shahsoon," Secretary General of the Azerbaijan Nationalist Movement for Democracy and the Integration of Iran, also said at the conference: "No revolution can achieve victory without a common belief. Revolutions need ideology, and the ideology of the Iranian people is nationalism."

Attending this conference, Mostafa Babaian, representing the Imperial Iranian Army Air Force Pilots Association, called on the armed forces of the Islamic Republic to join the Iranian nation.

Economic journalist Moloud Hajizadeh, who attended the National Cooperation to Save Iran conference, said: "Iranian society has reached the post-Islamic Republic era, and all the models that the government has tried to replace the structure of the Islamic nation with the Iranian nation are collapsing."

Tayeb Azmoudeh, a wrestling champion, also said during his speech at the conference: "As a Kurdish Iranian, I hold the flag of the Lion and the Sun high and say that we believe in the territorial integrity of Iran and want a free, prosperous, and unified Iran."

Hassan Mansour, a professor of economics, also attended the conference and delivered a speech, saying: "There is a huge gap between the Iranian nation and the government of the Islamic Republic, and this gap is the product of the accumulation of crises that have now emerged simultaneously and have placed the Islamic Republic at a fragile point. Today, every Iranian must consider Iran before any ideology." Hassan Mansour's speech was widely welcomed by those present at the conference, who referred to it as an invitation to cross ideological boundaries and focus on Iran's national interests.
