Reza Pahlavi , the exiled son of Iran's last shah, urged Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei , to step down now if he wants to get a fair trial, something that Reza said Khamenei never gave to any Iranian. Reza Pahlavi announced that he was ready to take the regime over and he was setting up a new secure platform for dissidents and internal opponents of the regime to coordinate their efforts to overthrow the disctatorrshio and put the country on the path of a "free and democratic" future.
“We are a proud, ancient and resilient people,” Pahlavi told a press conference in Paris on Monday. “To my compatriots: This is our moment. I am with you. Let us build this new Iran together.”
“I am here today to submit myself to my compatriots to lead them down this road of peace.”
'This is our Berlin wall moment'
Pahlavi said he has spoken with people across Iran and realized that this is Iran's Berlin Wall moment. "But like all moments of great change, it comes fraught with danger. We stand at a crossroads. One road leads to bloodshed and chaos. The other—to a peaceful and democratic transition," he said.
The destruction of the Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow has diminished the regime's domestic nuclear enrichment, he said. "But it does not diminish the regime’s intent to acquire and use nuclear weapons. The regime, enraged and emboldened, will be seeking revenge and can acquire nuclear weapons from other rogue regimes like North Korea," he said.
Reza Pahlavi offered his plan for transition and national renewal based on three core principles: Iran;s territorial integrity, individual liberties and equality of all citizens, and separation of religion and state.
"We have already launched the Iran Prosperity Project (IPP) , a comprehensive plan for the economic reconstruction and social stabilization of our country in three phases. The Emergency Phase of the first 4-6 months, the Establishment Phase of 18-24 months, and the Normalization Phase which is long term," he said.
“We are a proud, ancient and resilient people,” Pahlavi told a press conference in Paris on Monday. “To my compatriots: This is our moment. I am with you. Let us build this new Iran together.”
“I am here today to submit myself to my compatriots to lead them down this road of peace.”
