Exiled Crown Prince of Iran: Islamic Republic ‘Collapsing’ in Iran

  • Exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi posted a video on June 17, 2025, declaring the Islamic Republic in Iran is collapsing and calling for nationwide uprising.
  • Pahlavi described the collapse as the end of the regime’s nearly half-century-long conflict with the Iranian population, highlighting the disintegration of its security forces and asserting that Supreme Leader Khamenei has lost control and gone into hiding.
  • He urged Iranians, including military and state employees, to reclaim and rebuild Iran peacefully and announced his readiness for a transitional government based on a five-point plan and the Iran Prosperity Project.
  • Pahlavi’s June 17 video, over three minutes long, had garnered more than 5.8 million views by June 18, and he stated, "What has begun is irreversible," while Khamenei vowed victory and warned against US involvement.
  • The situation suggests heightened tensions in Iran, with implications of an imminent regime change, ongoing Israel-Iran strikes, and hopes for peaceful transition, though fears of instability remain among critics.
