‘The aid that US President promised has now arrived’: Reza Pehlavi after Israel attacks Iran

Tehran: Iran’s exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi reacted after Israel launched strikes on Tehran with the help of US on Saturday. He said that the aid that US President Donald Trump had promised has arrived. Pehlavi issued a lengthy message to Iranians, the country’s security forces and US President Donald Trump.

Addressing citizens directly, Pahlavi wrote, “My dear compatriots, Moments of destiny lie ahead of us. The aid that the President of the United States promised to the brave people of Iran has now arrived. This is a humanitarian intervention; and its target is the Islamic Republic, its repressive apparatus, and its machinery of slaughter—not the country and great nation of Iran.”

However, he stressed, “Even with the arrival of this aid, the final victory will still be forged by our hands. It is we, the people of Iran, who will finish the job in this final battle. The time to return to the streets is near.”
