The exiled Iranian crown prince appeals directly to the U.S. president, warning of violence, communications blackouts, and imminent danger to protesters demanding freedom
Iran’s exiled crown prince, Reza Pahlavi, has issued an urgent public appeal to President
Donald Trump, calling on the United States to take immediate action in support of Iranian protesters facing what he described as an escalating and potentially deadly crackdown.
In his message, Pahlavi said millions of Iranians had taken to the streets, confronting live ammunition as they protested against the ruling clerical regime.
He warned that the situation had sharply deteriorated, with the population now facing not only gunfire but a complete communications blackout.
According to his account, internet access has been shut down and landline telephones are no longer functioning, leaving citizens isolated and vulnerable.
Pahlavi accused Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei of ordering brutal repression out of fear that the regime could collapse under popular pressure.
He claimed the blackout was intended to conceal violent actions against demonstrators, many of them young, whom he described as risking their lives for freedom.
He stated that he had called on Iranians to flood the streets in overwhelming numbers to neutralize security forces through sheer presence, and that they had responded.
The exiled prince asserted that President Trump’s previous statements in support of the protesters had already had a tangible effect by deterring regime forces.
He emphasized that time was critical, noting that protesters were expected to return to the streets imminently, and appealed directly for readiness to intervene in defense of the Iranian people.
Pahlavi portrayed President Trump as a leader who keeps his word and seeks peace, urging him to stand by Iranians at what he described as a decisive moment in their struggle.
The appeal underscores the gravity of the confrontation now unfolding between Iran’s rulers and a population openly challenging their authority.
