Iran Exile Calls for Overthrow of Ayatollah Khameinei Following Israeli Strikes
The exiled son of the Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, has issued a call to action for the Iranian security forces and military to overthrow the Ayatollah Khameinei, following a series of Israeli strikes on Iranian territory. According to reports, the strikes have resulted in significant damage to key nuclear sites and the elimination of top officials.
In a statement posted on X, Pahlavi accused the Islamic Republic’s leaders of being "corrupt and incompetent" and of dragging the nation into a war. He advocated for a widespread campaign of "street protests and nationwide strikes" in an effort to bring about change. The comments were reported by The Jewish Chronicle and were made in the wake of the surprise Israeli strikes.
"It is clear that Ali Khamenei, the leader of the anti-Iranian regime of the Islamic Republic, has once again embroiled Iran in a war; a war that is not between Iran and the Iranian nation, but between the Islamic Republic and Khamenei," Pahlavi stated, as quoted by The Jewish Chronicle. "My message to the military, law enforcement, and security forces is clear: This regime and its corrupt and incompetent leaders do not value your lives or our Iran. Separate yourself from them and join the people."
The Israeli strikes, which were carried out in the early hours of the morning, have been confirmed by Iranian officials, who have vowed to take revenge for the attacks. The strikes are believed to have targeted key military and nuclear facilities, resulting in significant damage and loss of life. According to The Jewish Chronicle, the attacks have been widely condemned by international leaders, who are urging restraint and caution.
Pahlavi’s comments have sparked a significant reaction, with many calling for calm and restraint. However, the exiled prince remains resolute in his determination to see change in Iran. In his statement, he urged the military and security forces to "join the people" and to reject the "corrupt and incompetent leaders" of the Islamic Republic. As The Jewish Chronicle reports, Pahlavi has long been a vocal critic of the Iranian regime and has advocated for a return to a more democratic and secular government.
The situation in Iran remains volatile, with many calling for calm and restraint. The international community is watching developments closely, with concerns about the potential for further escalation. As reported by The Jewish Chronicle, Reza Pahlavi’s comments are seen as a significant development, and one that could have far-reaching consequences for the region.
The news comes at a time of heightened tensions between Iran and Israel, with both countries engaging in a war of words and propaganda. According to sources cited by The Jewish Chronicle, the Israeli strikes were intended to weaken Iran’s military capabilities and to disrupt its nuclear programme.
Further analysis of this breaking story will be provided as more information becomes available. For now, the situation remains fluid and uncertain. This article will be updated as the situation develops.
