Prince Pahlavi says transition system is ready to run Iran


Iran’s exiled Prince Reza Pahlavi said on Saturday that preparations have been underway in recent months to prevent a breakdown in governance after the fall of the Islamic Republic, including a plan to run the country and selecting people to serve in a transition structure.
“The transition system will be ready under my leadership to take control of governing the country as soon as the Islamic Republic falls, and in the shortest time restore order, security, freedom, and the conditions for Iran’s growth and prosperity,” Pahlavi said in a video statement.
He said many Iranians with needed expertise inside and outside the country have declared readiness to help rebuild Iran and serve the nation.
The process has been carried out through a committee responsible for reviewing and selecting members of the transition structure, led by economist Saeed Ghasseminejad, he said.
