Exiled prince Reza Pahlavi honours those killed in protests, urges unity
Iran's exiled prince Reza Pahlavi praised protesters across Iran and honoured those killed in recent demonstrations, calling them “true heroes of this land” and urging Iranians to remain united until what he described as the country’s freedom.
In a message posted on X, Pahlavi saluted demonstrators “standing courageously across Iran,” listing provinces from Lorestan and Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari to Tehran, Khorasan and Hormozgan. “You are making history – history written by the courage, solidarity, and determination of a nation reclaiming its country,” he wrote.
Referring to those killed over the past two days, he said: “Their names and memories will live forever in our national conscience.” Pahlavi called on Iranians to honour them nationwide and abroad “so that we show their path and their purpose are shared by all of us.”
He ended with a call for perseverance: “Stay united. Stay focused on the goal. Victory will be ours.”
