  • Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi criticized a planned US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding as detrimental and empowering to the current regime.
  • Pahlavi stated that any deal with Tehran would fail because the regime continues to repress and execute its citizens, citing recent protests.
  • He asserted that the Iranian people will eventually overthrow the regime with or without international support, emphasizing their fight for freedom.

Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has strongly condemned a forthcoming US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, labeling it "morally wrong and strategically misguided." In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Pahlavi argued that any agreement with Tehran would empower a regime he described as criminal and responsible for widespread repression and executions.

As it signs a Memorandum of Understanding for 'peace,' the Islamic Republic just executed two more protesters from January 8 and 9. This is the consequence of making a deal with this criminal regime.

"As it signs a Memorandum of Understanding for 'peace,' the Islamic Republic just executed two more protesters from January 8 and 9," Pahlavi wrote, highlighting the regime's ongoing violence. He asserted that the regime's "47-year war against the Iranian people continues" and that it has never made peace with its own citizens, nor will it truly make peace with the world.

To do a deal with a regime that murdered more than 40,000 protestors in two days in January is morally wrong and strategically misguided.

Pahlavi further stated that any agreement preserving the current regime or its remnants is destined to fail and will lack support from the Iranian people. He expressed confidence that "the people of Iran will liberate themselves from tyranny," with or without international backing. He also met with members of the UK's House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee in London to discuss the situation in Iran and the need for UK policy to center on the Iranian people.

Dealing with this regime will fail, and we will all face the consequences. The regime's 47-year war against the Iranian people continues.

— Reza PahlaviFurther elaborating on the perceived futility of engaging with the current Iranian government.

"The international community should back the people of Iran's fight for freedom... But let me be clear - with or without international support - this regime will fail. The people of Iran will liberate themselves from tyranny," Pahlavi concluded.

Just as it has never made peace with its own citizens, it will never truly make peace with the world. The international community should back the people of Iran's fight for freedom... But let me be clear - with or without international support - this regime will fail. The people of Iran will liberate themselves from tyranny.

— Reza PahlaviConcluding his statement on X, expressing his belief in the eventual self-liberation of the Iranian people.
