SATAR

Not least because of interest in the Royal Town on issues to do with Iran, this week I met with Prince Reza Pahlavi the crown prince of Iran, the son of the deposed Shah of Iran. We discussed the repression throughout Iran and the suffering of the Iranian people, as well as the destabilising effect of Iran and its proxies throughout the Middle East. @PahlaviReza

I am pleased to have been informed by @MunSecConf that my invitation to the Munich Security Conference has been maintained. This conference, like all public engagements, was always about my compatriots and having their voices heard on the world stage. So I will go with a message from the Iranian people: our fight is not just to free Iran, but the world, from the terror and blackmail of the Islamic Republic. On behalf of my compatriots, I will tell the international community that at this critical moment of opportunity it is time not just to stand but to act in solidarity with Iranians. It is they, the people of Iran, who will bring lasting peace to the Middle East when they end the reign of the warmongers in Tehran. I thank the Munich Security Conference, my team, and all those who lent their voices to ensure the Iranian people’s could be heard in Munich.

In Berlin, a decision has been made to sideline and silence the Iranian people and to appease the Islamic Republic. At this important moment of change in Iran, I was pleased to be invited to take part in this year’s @MunSecConf. However, my participation in this conference has been blocked by @GermanyDiplo. The German Foreign Ministry’s intervention to block my participation places Germany on the wrong side of history. So while the German government caves to the Islamic Republic, I urge the German people to stand with Iranians fighting for human rights and democracy— not only for Iranians’ sake, but for their own. Along with my compatriots, I will continue my campaign to free Iran, and with it the world, from the terror of a regime that has been allowed to hold humanity hostage with its blackmail for far too long. This decision was not about silencing me. This was about silencing the Iranian people. It was about silencing all those who stand for freedom, justice, and dignity. And that we will not stand for. Despite attempts to deny the Iranian people a voice at this conference, I will nonetheless be traveling to Munich. For while we seek friends and allies in foreign capitals, we know our liberation is in our hands and will never be determined by foreign governments. It is we Iranians who will decide our destiny and we will not cease until we are successful.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the @PahlaviComms account which will feature official news, statements, photos, information, and fact checking from the Press Office of Reza Pahlavi.

My full remarks this morning at @PressClubDC: Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. It’s a pleasure to be back at the National Press Club. Thank you for the invitation and I look forward to taking your questions later. Today the Middle East is on the cusp of fundamental change — a reset that has the potential to course-correct decades of terror, conflict, and chaos to peace, prosperity, and stability. This reset has been made possible by the significant weakening of Hamas in Gaza, the decapitation of Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the fall of Assad in Syria. But it is also made possible by the leadership, vision, and hope offered by leaders — from Riyadh to Jerusalem and across the region— who seek to work together for the prosperity of their people. But while today offers historic opportunities to the peacemakers, the warmongers are not sitting idly by. The warmongers, the arsonists that have kept the Middle East ablaze for 45 years, are sitting in Tehran. Ali Khamenei and his regime — even those he sends you in well-spoken English and a smile — do not seek to be a part of this burgeoning peace. They seek to destroy it. How do we know? Because they’ve not just told us. They’ve shown us. From its very onset this illegitimate, criminal regime has waged war on the people of Iran and the people of the United States. When it murdered our bravest generals it took your embassy staff hostage. When it killed our intellectuals in chain murders it blew up your Marine barracks in Lebanon. When it slaughtered our most courageous youth in the street, it attempted to assassinate your president - Donald Trump. “Death to America” is not just this regime’s slogan. As Ali Khamenei himself says, it is its policy. But today, with its proxies in shambles, the Islamic Republic is weaker than ever. So, afraid for its very survival and willing to do anything to save itself, in the coming weeks and months, you will see a different face of the Islamic Republic. It will not speak the language of jihad, hostage-taking, or chaos. It will talk of deal-making, mutual interest, and pragmatism. As it has for half a century, it will use every trick in the book and every tool of subterfuge to lie, cheat, and steal its way to a new deal with the United States. If it gets that deal, it will use the benefits and concessions it extracts to rebuild its proxies and prepare to inflict more pain and chaos on the region. It will look to bring about an even more terrifying October 7th. It will again wage war on the American people and American interests. This is not my opinion on analysis. It is the track record of the past 45 years. It is this regime’s DNA. So the United States has a choice— will it seek to use the leverage and this historic opportunity to fundamentally alter the trajectory of the Middle East and the world to bring about lasting peace and prosperity? Or will it fall for the flirtations of a radical Islamic regime and hand the Middle East back to its radical, terrorist proxies? Of course, put this way, the first option sounds like the obvious choice. But I know there are those, whether out of ignorance, ideology, or personal interest, who look to mislead the administration into thinking that change in Iran can only come about by war and would only lead to something worse. Let me address this directly and frankly: Mr President, anyone telling you that you have to sacrifice the lives of your brave troops to see change in Iran and a peaceful Middle East is lying to you. We do not seek America’s troops nor do we seek her treasures in our fight for Iran’s liberation. It is Iranians themselves who are fighting to liberate their homeland and to join the burgeoning movement for peace in the region that their occupiers are trying to stop. They have consistently been on the streets, not just seeking their liberation but fighting for it. But my compatriots are not alone. I will not let them fight this fight alone. They have called on me to lead the transition from this warmongering regime to a stable, peaceful future. I have accepted their call and I am here to do my duty. My plan to bring down and replace this regime involves splitting the regime and facilitating defections, engaging the grassroots inside Iran, mobilizing global public opinion and the diaspora, working with G20 governments to place maximum pressure on the regime and give maximum support to the people, and finally preparing for the transition and the economic and political reconstruction. It is because of that duty I have to my compatriots who seek to join the ranks of peacemakers that I am here today with a message: it is time to grab the opportunity presenting itself for a historic reset of the Middle East that will end the endless wars and bring lasting prosperity to all the nations of the region and the world. But that can only happen when we are free of the world’s chief warmonger: the Islamic Republic. Thank you.
