Overnight, after the Iran response to Israel's bombing of the Iran Embassy Compound in Damascus, Syria, the CIA began it's move: The son of the Shah of Iran, made a public statement:
The son of the former Shah of Persia spoke to the Iranian people from the USA. Reza Pahlavi calls on the military to refuse orders.
After the Iranian attacks, Reza Pahlavi (63) turned to the Iranian people. In a letter, he heavily criticizes the Islamist government. "While the Iranian people, inspired by our history, strive for peaceful coexistence with all nations, the Islamic regime that has held our country hostage for 45 years is striving for destructive chaos."
Pahlavi is the eldest son of the Shah of Persia who fell in 1979, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (1919 – 1980) and the former Empress Farah Pahlavi (85). He lives in the United States and describes himself as the crown prince of the country.
Commitment to peace
"Religious leader Ali Khamenei (84) tries to start a war to save his failing regime," Pahlavi continues. "But this is not a war that our country wants. The Iranians made it clear: the criminal mafia that occupies Iran does not represent our nation, our values or our aspirations."
"The road to lasting peace and security in the Middle East is to support the Iranian people who are fighting to retake our country and our rightful place in the world." Pahlavi said. "I call on our friends in the region and the western powers to work for this permanent solution for our region and the Iranian people, their allies for peace, to strengthen."
In addition, in his Persian statement, the Crown Prince called on the Iranian armed forces to reject all possible orders from Ali Khamenei that could pull Iran into an armed conflict.
