In an interview with Iran International, Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi announced that the time for the final uprising against the Islamic Republic is approaching, and that the people of Iran should be ready for it.

The Crown Prince said that, following recent attacks by Israel and the United States, the Islamic Republic's military and administrative structure has collapsed, and the regime — now in its weakest position ever — stands on the verge of falling. He added that Ali Khamenei "is hiding like a rat in a hole," that the families of regime officials are planning to leave the country, that the apparatus of repression has lost much of its strength, and that the regime's move to cut internet access shows just how deeply the Islamic Republic fears an uprising by the Iranian people.
