The exiled crown prince of Iran hailed the early morning strikes from the United States and Israel, saying the long-awaited American intervention means the Islamic Republic\u2019s days are numbered.<\/p>\n

In a forceful message to Iranians, Reza Pahlavi praised President Donald Trump for delivering what he called promised \u201caid\u201d to the Iranian people and framed the joint operation as the opening blow in the regime\u2019s collapse.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoments of destiny lie ahead of us,\u201d Pahlavi wrote. \u201cThe aid that the President of the United States promised to the brave people of Iran has now arrived.\u201d<\/p>\n

He described the strikes as a humanitarian intervention aimed squarely at the regime\u2019s \u201crepressive apparatus\u201d and \u201cmachinery of slaughter,\u201d not the Iranian people.<\/p>\n

But Pahlavi made clear that while American and Israeli firepower struck the regime\u2019s military infrastructure, the final chapter belongs to Iranians themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinal victory will still be forged by our hands,\u201d he wrote, signaling that the \u201ctime to return to the streets is near.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier on Saturday, President Trump urged<\/a> Iranians to overthrow their authoritarian regime after the United States finishes its operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo the great, proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand,\u201d Trump said. \u201cStay sheltered, don\u2019t leave your home. It\u2019s very dangerous outside; bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pahlavi, the son of Iran\u2019s last shah, who has lived in exile since the 1979 revolution, issued a similar call to Iranians. He said the Islamic Republic is collapsing and urged citizens to stay ready for what he called the \u201cfinal action.\u201d For now, he told supporters to remain in their homes and preserve their safety until he gives the signal.<\/p>\n

He also issued a direct warning to Iran\u2019s military and security forces: your oath is to Iran and its people \u2014 not to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.<\/p>\n

Those who continue defending the regime, he warned, risk going down with \u201cKhamenei\u2019s sinking ship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pahlavi thanked Trump directly, calling Iranians \u201cnatural allies\u201d of the United States and the free world, and urged the president to exercise caution to avoid civilian casualties as operations continue.<\/p>\n

With Iranian missile launches met by coordinated U.S.-Israel strikes on military targets, Pahlavi cast the moment as more than retaliation \u2014 but a rare opening to break the regime\u2019s grip for good.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very close to final victory,\u201d he wrote. \u201cLong live Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
