Iran's exiled Crown Prince, Reza Pahlavi, has issued a fervent appeal to Iranian protesters, urging them to persist in their anti-government demonstrations and "not abandon" the streets. In a new message, Pahlavi specifically highlighted the support of former US President Donald Trump, stating that Trump, as the leader of the free world, had "closely observed your indescribable bravery and has declared that he is ready to help you." This call to action from Pahlavi comes amidst widespread and escalating protests across Iran, initially sparked by economic grievances but quickly transforming into broader challenges against the clerical leadership. The demonstrations have been met with a severe crackdown by the Iranian regime, including a nationwide internet blackout and reports of numerous casualties and arrests. Pahlavi had previously made an "urgent and immediate call" to Trump, appealing for his attention, support, and intervention as protests intensified and communication lines were cut. Trump, in turn, has issued statements indicating that the US "stands ready to help" Iran, signaling support for the protesters and warning of potential intervention if peaceful demonstrators are harmed. The calls from the exiled prince have reportedly played a role in mobilizing larger crowds, with some protests chanting slogans against the current leadership and expressing a desire for Pahlavi's return. The situation in Iran remains highly volatile, with human rights groups reporting dozens killed and thousands arrested. International bodies and various countries have condemned the crackdown and called for an end to violence and the restoration of communication services. This unfolding situation carries significant geopolitical implications, drawing attention from global powers and regional observers, including India, which closely monitors developments in the Middle East.
