The exiled son of the deposed Iranian Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Reza Pahlavi, shared striking messages about the future of Iran on his social media account. Pahlavi stated that if he were to take over the administration, he would separate religion and state affairs.

DESCRIBED THE REGIME AS "Tyrannical"

In his post, Pahlavi addressed citizens in Khuzestan, Ilam, Kermanshah, Kurdistan, and West Azerbaijan; he spoke to Azerbaijanis, Kurds, Lors, and various tribal and faith communities. Describing the Islamic Republic administration as a "tyrannical and guilty regime," Pahlavi highlighted the oppression and discrimination experienced over the past 47 years.

EMPHASIS ON SECULARISM

Pahlavi stated that in Iran's freedom process, a government based on the separation of religion and state, the rule of law, and equal citizenship rights would be established. He expressed, "Like all other Iranians, you will be able to live freely, preserve your identity, and benefit fairly from the blessings of a free Iran."

Here is Pahlavi's post;

"Since the first day the Islamic Republic came to power, you have been the target of the anger, harassment, and oppression of this tyrannical and guilty regime. You have never intended to surrender. Over the past 47 years, especially during the Sun and Moon National Revolution, you have sacrificed dozens of immortal names in the struggle for our country's freedom and revival.

I assure you that in the future of Iran's freedom, with the establishment of a government based on the separation of religion and state, the rule of law, and equal citizenship rights, you will no longer be subjected to discrimination. Like all other Iranians, you will be able to live freely, preserve your identity, and benefit fairly from the blessings of a free Iran.

You are part of Iran's historical and cultural fabric, which has always preserved the territorial integrity of the country and the honor and pride of the nation. I am confident that you will always remain loyal to this agreement.

We are on the brink of the collapse of this system. However, we must be vigilant and prepared, and we must not allow opportunistic powers that always look at Iranian lands with greedy eyes to exploit the situation. I believe that with determination and national unity, a bright tomorrow awaits you and all other Iranians."
