Pahlavi sends a message to Trump regarding the protests

On Friday, Reza Pahlavi, the crown prince of the former Iranian regime, sent a message to US President Donald Trump, commenting on the internet and communications blackout in Iran.

Pahlavi said in a post on the X platform that “millions of Iranians demanded their freedom tonight, and in response, the Iranian regime cut off all lines of communication. It shut down the internet, cut off landline telephones, and may even try to jam satellite signals.”

He added: “I would like to thank the leader of the free world, President Trump, for renewing his promise to hold the regime accountable. It is time for others, including European leaders, to follow his example, break their silence, and act more decisively to support the Iranian people.”

Pahlavi continued, “I call on them to harness all available technical, financial and diplomatic resources to reconnect with the Iranian people so that their voice may be heard and their will seen. Do not let the voices of my brave countrymen be silenced.”

It is worth noting that the protests in Iran began at the end of December 2025 due to the sharp decline in the value of the local currency (the Iranian rial) and its impact on prices.
