Exiled prince calls on IRGC to step down, preserve Iran infrastructure

Iran’s exiled prince Reza Pahlavi urged commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to step down and stop their “crimes” to allow Iran’s infrastructure to be preserved, amid threats by US President Donald Trump to strike the country’s power plants.

“Allow the country’s infrastructure to be preserved for the Iranian nation,” Pahlavi said in a post on X.

“The corrupt regime of the Islamic Republic is on its way out,” he said.

“Your choice is not between survival and collapse; it is about how you collapse,” he added.

“For the sake of Iran, for yourselves, and for your children, abandon this adventurism and warmongering,” Pahlavi said.

“Do not leave Iran more bloodstained and wounded than it already is,” he added.

“Stop your crimes. Step down from power,” he said.
