Exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi described the ongoing unrest in Iran as an unprecedented turning point, emphasizing the widespread commitment of the Iranian people to ending the current regime. In a video interview shared by OSINT613, Pahlavi highlighted that millions of citizens have taken to the streets in over 100 cities, chanting slogans such as “death to the dictator” and “end to this regime.”

According to Pahlavi, the scale and intensity of the demonstrations represent a historic moment in Iran’s political trajectory. “By God, it is about time that Iran gets its opportunity to free itself from a tyrannical regime,” he said, stressing that public demand for change has reached new heights amid the crisis.

The protests, triggered by a dramatic devaluation of the rial and worsening economic conditions since early January 2026, have now spread to 17 of Iran’s 31 provinces. Human rights groups report at least 25 civilian deaths, and authorities have responded with escalating force, including the deployment of Iraqi Shiite militias to suppress unrest.

Analysts note that the rapid expansion of demonstrations—from urban centers to smaller towns—reflects both popular frustration and a coordinated movement across socio-economic groups. Pahlavi’s statements underscore the exiled opposition’s strategy of leveraging mass mobilization and international attention to encourage a democratic transition.

Observers caution that while the regime remains entrenched, the combination of economic collapse, mass protests, and high-profile appeals from figures like Pahlavi creates an environment in which political change may accelerate. The coming weeks are likely to prove decisive in determining whether the uprising will continue to gain momentum or face renewed suppression.
