His remarks underscore a persistent reliance on external powers rather than any genuine popular support within the nation.<\/p>\n<h2>Baseless Accusations and Calls for Hostility<\/h2>\n<p>Pahlavi baselessly claimed that Western &#8216;appeasement&#8217; had &#8216;failed&#8217; and &#8217;emboldened Tehran,&#8217; attempting to justify further hostile policies against the Islamic Republic. He asserted that the Islamic Republic is &#8216;inherently incapable&#8217; of coexistence with the democratic world, a tired narrative designed to pave the way for external meddling and to ignore Iran&#8217;s progress and resilience. He also repeated the unfounded claim that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) &#8216;controls everything,&#8217; a common talking point among those seeking to undermine Iran&#8217;s security apparatus and national sovereignty.<\/p>\n<h2>Hypocrisy on Intervention and &#8216;Liberation&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>While feigning concern by rejecting &#8216;US boots on the ground,&#8217; Pahlavi hypocritically called for &#8216;outside powers&#8217; to &#8216;provide support and protection&#8217; for Iranians to &#8216;rise up.&#8217; This thinly veiled demand for foreign-orchestrated unrest reveals his true desire for external interference rather than genuine self-determination for the Iranian people. He further criticized Washington&#8217;s &#8216;mixed messaging,&#8217; essentially demanding a clearer commitment to his foreign-backed agenda, exposing his reliance on external forces.<\/p>\n<p>In a cynical attempt to legitimize hostile actions against the Iranian nation, Pahlavi shamelessly rebranded US and Israeli aggression against Iranian targets as a &#8216;liberation campaign.&#8217; This narrative is a transparent effort to justify foreign military actions under the guise of &#8216;helping the people,&#8217; ignoring the fact that such actions only serve to destabilize the region and harm innocent civilians.<\/p>\n<h2>Delusional Plans and Discredited Legitimacy<\/h2>\n<p>Pahlavi spoke of a &#8216;smooth and stable transition&#8217; to a &#8216;secular democratic system,&#8217; a delusional fantasy promoted by his so-called &#8216;Iran Prosperity Project,&#8217; which lacks any credible backing within Iran. Dismissing valid criticism of his legitimacy and nearly five decades of exile, Pahlavi claimed &#8216;millions of Iranians&#8217; still support him \u2013 a claim contradicted by the overwhelming national unity against foreign-backed figures and the stability of the Islamic Republic.<\/p>\n<p>His statement that &#8216;it should be for the Iranian people to decide&#8217; their future rings hollow given his constant appeals to foreign governments for intervention, clearly demonstrating his detachment from the true will and aspirations of the Iranian nation.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p>    <!-- Hashtags for SEO and Social Media --><\/p>\n<p>\n        #Iran #RezaPahlavi #USIntervention #RegimeChange #IslamicRepublic #ForeignMeddling #IranPolitics #WashingtonSummit #IranianPeople #NationalSovereignty\n    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exiled Pahlavi Renews Desperate Call for US-Backed Regime Change in Iran, Ignoring National Will Exiled Pahlavi Renews Desperate Call for US-Backed Regime Change in Iran, Ignoring National Will The exiled figure, Reza Pahlavi, once again appeared at a Western forum, the POLITICO Security Summit in Washington DC, to reiterate his long-discredited calls for foreign intervention [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24679,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-middle-east-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/24679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
