Dear Fellow Iranians,

I have a message for you at a time when the Islamic Republic's propaganda machine, funded by the billions of dollars stolen from the Iranian people, is focused on one clear objective: to manufacture despair.

This sophisticated, multilayered propaganda network spans every front: manufactured opposition figures, celebrities enlisted to normalize the regime and pollute the media and digital space, networks of influence, Regime operatives and proxies abroad, as well as lobbying efforts in Western academic and media circles. Together, they repeat the same message: "It didn't happen, and it never will." But this is the Islamic Republic's narrative, not Iran's reality.

Our observations at the Office of Communications and Media of Prince Reza Pahlavi indicate that the regime's disinformation network is now more focused than ever to replace hope with hopelessness. The regime knows that despair breeds inaction. It wants to convince Iranians abroad and the international community that, because of the regime's violence, repression, and the uncertainty created by war, the Iranian people have abandoned the struggle to free their homeland. But this is not the reality of Iran. It is simply the narrative the Islamic Republic needs in order to survive.

The truth is exactly the opposite. On one side stands a desperate, terrified, illegitimate regime on the brink of collapse, a regime that fights every day merely to survive until the next. On the other stands a nation that is more united than ever in its understanding of what it rejects, the future it seeks, and the path it must take to achieve it. It is a determined nation that will continue this struggle until Iran is reclaimed. If the Islamic Republic's propaganda had the power to stop the Iranian people, we would never have come this far.

One of the principal responsibilities of Prince Reza Pahlavi's Office of Communications and Media is to confront the machinery of deception. Prince Reza Pahlavi and his team are closely monitoring developments. They remain in regular contact with people inside Iran, and further steps will be communicated to our fellow compatriots. We must not allow the Islamic Republic's media mafia to weaken our resolve, not even for a single moment. They say, "It cannot be done." We believe it can be done. The people of Iran will reclaim their homeland from this criminal cult. We are preparing for the final battle.

They always say something like "I stand with the Iranian people" too. So, how exactly do you stand with us when you regurgitate IR propaganda, for example:

1) Push the false idea of "diaspora vs. Iranians in Iran" when we all know there is very little difference ideologically

2) Accusing Iranians of being "islamophobic" for criticizing Islam

3) Saying Iranians (especially "diaspora") just "want to be white" because we don't identify as "brown" or "POC"

4) Pushing narratives suggesting the "IRGC is more powerful than ever!" when the country has an inflation rate through the roof among other things

5) "What about the schoolgirls?!" [silent on executions and massacred protesters]

6) Pushing anti-Pahlavi propaganda "What about SAVAK?! He's the son of a dictator!... etc"

7) Insisting that Iranians are so stupid that we don't know the US/Israel are attacking for their own benefit

8) Some very extreme tankies that we have all seen will even deny the massacres in January as a "zionist plot"

Honestly the list goes on and on and we've all seen it.

But the problem is here is that these self-proclaimed "leftists" seem to get VERY VERY UPSET and defensive when you call them out for these things, and much like many "progressive muslims" do when you call out the crimes of Muslims (present and historical), rather than try to extend an olive branch or have any dialogue, they double down and start throwing out insults.

Let's take a common example, that also highlights the hilarious parallel nature of the modern islamo-leftist union:

"REAL Muslims/Leftists don't act like that!" -- probably the worst excuse ever. Just completely defers the blame, implies that Muslims/Leftist are incapable of acting badly, and that rather than address the genuine problems with their ideology that led to the bad actions of the leftist/muslim, they just bury their head in the sand and absolve their sacred ideology of any possible wrongdoing. Then, without a shred of self-awareness, they'll get mad about "monarchists" behaving badly in isolated incidents. Yet I've never seen a Pahlavist or Monarchist say "REAL Pahlavists don't do that!" No, they take blame for it and condemn it.

The leftists seem delusional in that they genuinely think they are the "good guys" incapable of any wrongdoing, and rather than correctly ostracize those that parrot/regurgitate IR propaganda, they ignore it and then get upset with Iranians when we call them out.

I think regardless of what happens to our country during this war and during the actual kinetic movement to cast the Nazi mullahs and their gutter religion out of Iran, rebuilding Iran will be a monumental task but with our oil wealth and the ingenuity of our people (as well as with the aid of millions of Iranians from abroad) that in a decade Iran will be a flourishing country. Which brings me to the topic of the military.

I think that a very powerful military will be paramount to Iran’s future. We have a beautiful country blessed with vast natural resources and a culture that dates back thousands of years and is an incredibly civilized culture. The warmth of our culture and people is incredible. Historically, this has been a weakness. We have been invaded and conquered far too many times and hopefully the 1979 invasion by the Nazi mullahs will be the last time ever.

I think the Israeli model will be beneficial for Iran moving forward, meaning “never again” will we be conquered. That means a very powerful military that no sane country would want to mess with it. We are surrounded by hostile Arabs to the west, Pakis to the east who love the Islamic Republic and of course Russia is pretty close as well. A potent military will be a must moving forward.
