Iran’s exiled prince Reza Pahlavi on Thursday urged Iranians to engage in civil disobedience to bring down the Islamic Republic, saying the state had sharply weakened in recent weeks.
“The regime is trying to intimidate and demoralize you. The truth is that the Islamic Republic has grown dozens of times weaker over the past two weeks, while we are stronger and more prepared than ever,” Pahlavi said in a video message.
In this message, Pahlavi framed the moment as ripe for mass, coordinated disobedience.
