Prince's urgent appeal to Trump: People will return to the streets tonight
Reza Pahlavi, with an urgent appeal to Trump and referring to the presence of people in the streets on the evening of January 19, 1404, called for help and intervention to prevent repression.
On the eve of the continuation of nationwide protests and the call for tonight, Friday, January 19, 1404, Reza Pahlavi addressed US President Donald Trump in an urgent message on the X social network, urging him to take action against the widespread repression of Iranian protesters.
The message comes as Iran faces widespread internet and telephone outages, while Islamic Republic officials have threatened to take a "decisive and maximum" action against protesters. Field reports indicate that despite these restrictions, people in various cities are preparing to take to the streets again tonight.
In this message, Reza Pahlavi, while referring to the million-strong demonstrations last night and the violence of the security forces, warned against the government's use of the communication shutdown for bloody repression.
In his appeal to Trump, Reza Pahlavi said: “People will be taking to the streets in an hour, I ask you to help. This is an urgent and urgent call for your attention, support and action. Last night you saw millions of brave Iranians on the streets facing the bullets of war. Today, they are facing not only bullets, but also a complete blackout of communications. There is no internet. There are no landlines either.”
The son of Iran's last king continued: "Ali Khamenei, fearing the end of his criminal regime at the hands of the people and aided by your powerful promise to support the protesters, has threatened the people in the streets with brutal repression. He wants to use this internet shutdown to murder these young heroes."
Reza Pahlavi emphasized his message by adding, "People will be back on the streets in an hour. I ask you to help. You have proven and I know that you are a man of peace and a man of your word. Please be ready to intervene to help the people of Iran."
This message was released at a time when the security situation in Iran has noticeably intensified, with reports indicating the widespread deployment of military and security forces in various cities. At the same time, the internet shutdown has severely limited citizens' access to the media and communication with the outside world; a measure that has been used before during periods of suppression of protests. Political observers believe that tonight's call for January 19 could be one of the most sensitive turning points in the Iranian national uprising; especially considering its simultaneous occurrence with international pressure and increasing reactions from political figures outside the country.
