"National Cooperation" Campaign: A Call for Military and Government Forces to Join the Opposition to the Iranian Government

Tehran, Iran – Nearly 20,000 people have joined the campaign a week after the launch of the “#NationalCooperation” platform, which is billed as a secure communication channel for Iran’s military, security, law enforcement, and government forces. The initiative, announced by Reza Pahlavi, son of the last Shah of Iran, at a press conference in Paris on June 29, 2025 (Tir 8, 1404), aims to pave the way for the government to collapse and for them to join the ranks of the opposition.

According to the information released, the data of those who have joined the campaign is being reviewed, verified, and refined, and the process of contacting them has begun. The organizers of the campaign, while thanking those who have joined, have called on other military and government forces that have not yet done so to join this movement as soon as possible and help spread the word about it.

How to join and security warnings

One of the key points emphasized in the announcements related to this campaign is the method of joining it. Applicants are asked to join by scanning the QR code that is displayed during the broadcast of the “Iran International” TV network programs. After scanning this code, the relevant form must be completed, observing the security tips stated at the top.

These notices strongly urge users to refrain from publishing, scanning, or filling out any codes or other forms that are posted online or on social media. These security warnings reflect concerns about the Iranian government’s countermeasures to identify and deal with individuals associated with this campaign.

Goals and reactions

The main goal of this campaign, as announced by Reza Pahlavi, is to “provide a safe path for those armed forces, security forces, and government employees who have lost faith in the government and want to join the nation.” In his message, he assured that the service of these individuals to Iran will not be forgotten.

So far, the official authorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran have not responded directly to this campaign. However, media outlets close to the government have consistently accused Persian-language television networks abroad of “hostile actions” and “hybrid warfare” against Iran, and it is anticipated that this silence will be accompanied by security and propaganda reactions.

Iran experts believe that the success or failure of this campaign will depend on several factors, including the level of trust in the platform’s security, its acceptance within the military and security forces, and the government’s ability to identify and counter it. With Iran facing numerous economic and social challenges, any split among pro-government forces could have significant implications for the country’s political future.
