Reza Pahlavi

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.

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

They are the ones marching, sacrificing, and fighting for their freedom every single day.

Despite the lies you're hearing from the regime,

its bloodlust has not diminished.

In the last 48 hours, Iranians have suffered more casualties than America did after the 9-11 attack.

This is a moment that is defining.

Despite being completely cut off from the world, internet shutdown, and for a regime that is massacring its own people,

This is an opportunity to liberate that nation.

Remember, the same thugs that hate America also hate their own people.

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

These are violent, if you call them leaders.

I don't know if they're leaders or just they rule through violence.

To decide their own future.

Your words of solidarity with the Iranian people and your administration have had tremendous positive effect.
