NEW YORK CITY (VINnews) — Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran’s last shah, issued a statement declaring that the collapse of the country’s Islamic regime would usher in a new era of peace across the Middle East, including an immediate end to Iran’s nuclear weapons program and support for terrorist groups.

In the statement shared via his X account, Pahlavi outlined a vision for a “free Iran” that would prioritize regional stability and international cooperation.
“In security and foreign policy, Iran’s nuclear military program will end. Support for terrorist groups will cease immediately,” the statement read. “A free Iran will work with regional and global partners to confront terrorism, organized crime, drug trafficking, and extremist Islamism.”
Pahlavi, who has long advocated for a secular democratic Iran, emphasized normalized ties with the United States and a restoration of historical friendship between the Iranian people and America.
“In diplomacy, relations with the United States will be normalized and our friendship with America and her people will be restored,” he said.
The statement highlighted a significant shift in policy toward Israel, which has been a central target of hostility from Iran’s current leadership.
“The State of Israel will be recognized immediately,” Pahlavi declared. “We will pursue the expansion of the Abraham Accords into the Cyrus accords bringing together a free Iran, Israel, and the Arab world.”
The proposed “Cyrus Accords” reference Cyrus the Great, the ancient Persian king credited with liberating the Jewish people from Babylonian captivity and allowing the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem around 539 BCE. Pahlavi has frequently invoked this historical legacy in recent years to advocate for renewed Iran-Israel ties, framing it as an extension of the 2020 Abraham Accords that normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations.
Pahlavi’s comments come amid ongoing discussions in opposition circles about Iran’s future following the Islamic Republic’s rule since 1979. He has positioned himself as a leading figure in calls for regime change, emphasizing that the current government does not represent the Iranian people and that its policies of supporting proxy groups like Hezbollah and Hamas have isolated the nation.
The crown prince has previously elaborated on similar themes in public remarks, including speeches promoting the “Cyrus Accords” as a pathway to regional non-aggression, cooperation, and mutual prosperity once the regime falls.
Pahlavi’s statement drew attention to broader geopolitical implications, suggesting that a post-regime Iran could become a partner in combating extremism rather than a source of instability.
No immediate response was available from the Iranian government or U.S. officials to the statement. Pahlavi resides in exile and maintains an active presence on social media to communicate with supporters inside and outside Iran.
Let’s pray to the same G-d that peace will come with these two neighbors.
The world will be a better place.
Trump has already sold out the protesters. He’s giving the mullahs and “out” and the protests are already dying down because the regime is still in control and the protesters now know nobody is coming to help them. How many times is this scenario going to be repeated???
