Prince Pahlavi backs strikes on IRGC, urges military to join people
Prince Reza Pahlavi said the US and Israeli campaign targeting the Revolutionary Guards and the Islamic Republic’s “infrastructure of terror” has broad support among Iranians.
In a post on X, he said the establishment is using civilians as “human shields,” calling it “a crime against humanity,” and added that the protection of civilians and Iran’s vital national infrastructure must remain a priority.
Addressing Iran’s armed forces directly, he urged them to defect. “Lay down your arms and join the people. If you do, there will be a place for you in a free Iran,” he wrote.
