Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran's last monarch, has publicly endorsed the recent military strikes launched by the United States and Israel against Iranian installations. Pahlavi characterizes these attacks as a critical turning point in the struggle against the Iranian regime. He has called upon Iranians to prepare for what he describes as the 'final battle,' suggesting that the military actions represent a significant step towards overthrowing the current government in Iran.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the strikes particularly targeted missile and military infrastructures within Iran's major cities, including the capital, Tehran. Trump justified these actions by stating that the objective was to eliminate imminent threats from Iran, asserting that the U.S. would 'destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground.' This military engagement has sparked debate regarding its implications for both regional stability and the potential for greater conflict.

In a message shared on X (formerly Twitter), Pahlavi also claimed that the U.S. is providing humanitarian assistance aimed specifically at dismantling the Iranian regime's repressive mechanisms rather than harming the Iranian people. His comments reflect a growing sense of urgency and hope among some expatriates and activists who believe that external support could facilitate a change in leadership within Iran, further emphasizing the high stakes involved in the current geopolitical climate.
