Pahlavi Calls Khamenei’s Death The End Of The Islamic Republic

According to Ireporter Online, Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran’s last shah, welcomed the reported death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday, declaring that the Islamic Republic was effectively over.

In a post on , Pahlavi stated that the regime which succeeded his pro-Western father had reached its conclusion. “With his death, the Islamic Republic has effectively come to an end and will soon be consigned to the dustbin of history,” he wrote.

Pahlavi warned against any attempt to appoint a successor to Khamenei, urging Iran’s military, security, and police forces not to support what he described as a collapsing regime. “Any effort to prop up a collapsing regime is doomed to defeat,” he said.

Positioning himself as a potential transitional figure, Pahlavi acknowledged that he does not have unanimous support among opposition groups but called on citizens to remain alert. He urged Iranians to “stay vigilant,” signaling that broader mobilization could follow.

“The time for a massive and decisive presence in the streets is very near. Together, united and steadfast, we will secure the final victory, and we will celebrate Iran’s freedom across our homeland created by Ahura,” Pahlavi added, invoking Iran’s pre-Islamic Zoroastrian heritage.
