Iran's exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has intensified his calls for anti-government action, urging a nationwide strike by workers in critical sectors like transport, oil, gas, and energy to 'bring the Islamic Republic and its worn-out and fragile repression apparatus to its knees'. This directive was part of a fresh appeal for agitation, asking Iranians to return to the streets over the weekend of January 10-11, specifically from 6 pm, with the goal of preparing to seize and hold city centers. Pahlavi also made a significant announcement regarding his personal plans, stating his readiness to return to his homeland. He expressed his belief that the victory of a national revolution is 'very near' and that he intends to be present with the Iranian people during this pivotal moment. His family fled Iran months before the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which ousted his father, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last monarch of Iran. The prince's calls come amid widespread anti-government protests that originated from economic grievances and have rapidly escalated into a national uprising. These demonstrations have spread to hundreds of locations across numerous cities and provinces in Iran. Pahlavi further appealed to then-United States President Donald Trump for intervention, highlighting severe communication blackouts, including internet and landline cuts, and reports of protesters facing lethal force. Reports from various sources corroborate these calls and the ongoing unrest, with Pahlavi actively positioning himself as a leader in the opposition movement, although his potential role and the broader opposition's unity remain subjects of discussion.
