Reza Pahlavi

As I said, as I said, as I said, this is a war, and war has casualties.

In fact, in order to preserve and protect and minimize the death toll, minimize innocent victims yet again be killed by this regime, action is needed.

The regime is going to try and brutalize its citizenry, as it has always done.

But we are in a fight for liberation.

I didn't ask the people to come to the streets to fight against the regime because I wanted so.

They asked me to step in to help them and to be their voice on the outside world, to do everything that we can so we make this uprising successful this time, and I think we have

some serious leaders that understand what is necessary, that understand the ask of the Iranian people and are responding to that.

I think President Trump is responding to the call that the Iranian people have.

The Iranian people have heard his words.

They are naming streets after him in Iran.

You can pause it right there.

Don't cry.

The regime will fall. It will fall sooner. And more lives will be saved if the world turns its words into action. A free, democratic Iran will not be a source of endless crisis. It will be a pillar of peace, partnership and prosperity for the Middle East and beyond. The choice is clear.

There are moments in history where the moral imperative for action is so strong that the weight of inaction becomes unbearable. This is one of those moments. The people of Iran have reason to reclaim their country. History will honor those who stand with them.

I ask the world to protect the Iranian people by degrading the regime's repressive capacity, including targeting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard leadership and its command and control infrastructure.

This does not require putting boots on the ground.

The Iranian people's boots are already on the ground.

Despite the lies you're hearing from the regime,

its bloodlust has not diminished.

This auditorium looks like, and there seem to be some people killed that aren't supposed to be killed.
