Reza Pahlavi: I will return to Iran
On Sunday, January 17, Reza Pahlavi announced that he intends to return to Iran from exile in the United States, although he did not specify a timeline for this return.
This opponent of the Islamic Republic stated in his video message that the Iranian people want a new and credible path for the future and emphasized that today’s struggle in Iran is not between reform and revolution, but between occupation and liberation, and the Iranian people have chosen their direction.
He added that Iranians inside the country have taken decisive action, and now it is time for the international community to join them. Reza Pahlavi also emphasized, ‘I will return to Iran. The Iranian people have risen to reclaim their country. History will honor those who stand by them.’
Reza Pahlavi, who was the crown prince of Iran before the 1979 revolution according to the constitutional monarchy, has been living in exile in the United States for decades. In recent weeks, he has called for international action against the Islamic Republic in various messages and has also addressed messages to the U.S. government in this context.
He also outlined his demands from the international community on January 15, which include protecting the Iranian people by weakening the regime’s ability to suppress, such as targeting the leadership of the Revolutionary Guards and its command structures.
