Passivity is Complicity: Close the Iranian Embassy

Iran ⁣is in an ‍acute and escalating crisis. The regime responds to popular protests with bullets, mass arrests, and the systematic killing of civilians. Testimonies⁣ from across the country detail the mass murder of Iranians ‍-​ young and old – whose only “crime” is demanding ⁢freedom, ⁤dignity, and self-determination. This ⁤is not sporadic ​unrest, but a national uprising against‌ a⁢ violent regime that ‌has lost all legitimacy.

On the ‌streets ⁢of ‍Iran, clear slogans are heard⁤ in support of⁤ Crown‍ Prince reza Pahlavi. People ⁣gather underneath the lion-and-sun flag, bearing portraits of the Crown prince and of the former shah and his queen Farah Pahlavi. This isn’t nostalgia. It’s an expression‍ of ​the⁢ fact that many long-held myths about Iran’s modern⁤ history have been‍ shattered by research and open archives – and because Reza Pahlavi has consistently stood for democracy, secularism, and free elections.

His message ‍is not a seizure of power, but a national gathering and an ‍orderly transition where the Iranian people themselves decide their future and governance‍ through free and democratic elections.

When ‍reza Pahlavi recently called⁤ on iranians to take to the streets at a fixed⁣ time, he took a real risk.From exile, he could have been dismissed as just another voice from a safe distance. Instead, the people responded. The Wall Street Journal accurately⁤ summarized it in an opinion piece: the country’s streets exploded ⁤at the time⁢ the Crown Prince indicated. In his latest call to action, he has gone further, calling for occupying city centers and expanding strikes​ – a⁤ clear strategic shift towards civil disobedience and ⁢national mobilization.
