Exiled Iranian Crown Prince Accepts Duty As ‘Transitional Leader’ Amid Regime Collapse
The Iranian regime is teetering.
And one man is stepping up to lead the transition.
Reza Pahlavi is the exiled crown prince of Iran.
He has accepted responsibility for guiding his nation through the collapse of the Islamic Republic.
He made the announcement in a direct message to the Iranian people.
“The Iranian people have called on me to lead the transition after the regime is gone,” Pahlavi said.
“I have accepted that responsibility.”
This is historic.
From Charisma Magazine:
“Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran’s last monarch, says he is prepared to lead a transitional government when the Islamic Republic falls, declaring that the Iranian people have asked him to help guide the nation into a new era. Pahlavi emphasized that his goal would be for the Iranian people to determine their future through democratic elections. ‘My commitment is to ensure the transition is orderly, the country is stabilized, and Iranians determine their future through the ballot box,’ he said.”
Pahlavi has also unveiled what he calls the “Iran Prosperity Project.”
It’s a roadmap for rebuilding Iran after the Islamic Republic falls.
The plan includes a national referendum on Iran’s future government.
Then elections for a constituent assembly to draft a new constitution.
Finally, a national vote to ratify it.
The crown prince insists the choice belongs to the Iranian people alone.
“The future of Iran must be decided by the Iranian people through free elections,” he has repeatedly stated.
He does not seek to restore the monarchy.
Pahlavi himself says he will not seek political office.
Instead, he wants to steward a peaceful transition to democracy.
My Fellow Countrymen,
The Islamic Republic has reached its end and is in the process of collapsing. Khamenei, like a frightened rat, has gone into hiding underground and has lost control of the situation. What has begun is irreversible. The future is bright, and together, we… https://t.co/XEyL5IM05t

The crown prince has also praised President Trump’s leadership.
President Trump, thank you for your strong leadership and support of my compatriots. This warning you have issued to the criminal leaders of the Islamic Republic gives my people greater strength and hope—hope that, at last, a President of the United States is standing firmly by… https://t.co/1H12Z77uCE pic.twitter.com/G3TyrkJTy6

From SFL Media:
Pahlavi and his advisors have outlined what they call the ‘Iran Prosperity Project,’ a roadmap for rebuilding Iran after the fall of the Islamic Republic. The plan proposes a multi-year transition process that would include a national referendum on Iran’s future system of government, election of a constituent assembly to draft a new constitution, ratification of that constitution through a national vote, and establishment of a democratic political system. Supporters say the framework would allow Iranians to decide whether the country becomes a republic, a parliamentary monarchy, or another form of democratic government.
Millions of Iranians demanded their freedom tonight. In response, the regime in Iran has cut all lines of communication. It has shut down the Internet. It has cut landlines. It may even attempt to jam satellite signals.
I want to thank the leader of the free world, President…

Pahlavi’s father ruled Iran until the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
That regime has terrorized the region for 46 years.
Now it faces mounting pressure from the Trump administration.
Israeli military strikes have weakened the mullahs.
And the Iranian people are rising up.
Pahlavi sees the moment clearly.
He has accepted the call.
The transition is coming.
