Exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has reiterated his commitment to supporting the Iranian people in their fight for freedom, highlighting the Islamic Republic’s weakening grip on power.
In a statement shared on his verified Twitter account, Pahlavi expressed optimism about the readiness of Iranians to reclaim their country, calling for further assistance from the United States Congress.
“I was pleased to be back on Capitol Hill for a new round of meetings with Members of Congress. The Islamic Republic is weaker than ever, and the people of Iran are ready to take their country back,” Pahlavi wrote.
During his visit, Pahlavi met with several lawmakers, including Representative Rich McCormick, to discuss the broader implications of Iran’s political unrest for the United States. He emphasized how the fall of the Islamic Republic could benefit American interests, particularly in terms of security and stability in the Middle East.
Pahlavi’s call for support aligns with his consistent advocacy for democratic values and human rights in Iran. Over recent months, protests against the regime have intensified, fueled by widespread dissatisfaction over economic mismanagement, corruption, and repression.
The meeting also explored ways Congress could aid the Iranian opposition movement. Although specific measures were not disclosed, Pahlavi has previously urged the international community to impose stricter sanctions on the regime and amplify support for grassroots movements within Iran.
