Overview
- The United States and Israel launched coordinated attacks on targets in Iran, described as major combat operations aimed at the regime’s capabilities.
- In a video address, Reza Pahlavi told Iranians to remain at home for now and said he will announce the exact time to return to the streets for a final push.
- He appealed directly to Iran’s military, police and security services to break with the Islamic Republic and join the people, warning they risk going down with “Khamenei’s sinking ship.”
- Pahlavi characterized the strikes as a humanitarian intervention against the regime’s repressive apparatus and urged President Trump to minimize civilian harm.
- Addressing U.S. claims that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed—unconfirmed in independent reporting—Pahlavi said the regime is effectively ending and highlighted his Iran Prosperity Project transition blueprint.
