"In a post on X, Pahlavi, who lives in exile in the United States, said, "I am certain that by making our street presence more targeted, and at the same time, by cutting off the financial lifelines, we will completely bring the Islamic Republic and its worn-out and fragile repression apparatus to its knees." Pahlavi urged workers from Iran's key economic sectors, particularly transportation, oil, gas and energy, to go on a nationwide strike to ramp up the pressure on Iran's ruling clerics."
""Our goal is no longer merely to come to the streets; the goal is to prepare for seizing the centers of cities and holding them," Pahlavi said, urging people to "gather the necessary supplies." He concluded his latest message by saying he was preparing to return to the country from exile, "so that at the time of our national revolution's victory, I can be beside you, the great nation of Iran. I believe that day is very near.""
