<p>The exiled crown prince of Iran hailed the early morning strikes from the United States and Israel, saying the long-awaited American intervention means the Islamic Republic’s days are numbered.</p>
<p>In a forceful message to Iranians, Reza Pahlavi praised President Donald Trump for delivering what he called promised “aid” to the Iranian people and framed the joint operation as the opening blow in the regime’s collapse.</p>
<p>“Moments of destiny lie ahead of us,” Pahlavi wrote. “The aid that the President of the United States promised to the brave people of Iran has now arrived.”</p>
<p>He described the strikes as a humanitarian intervention aimed squarely at the regime’s “repressive apparatus” and “machinery of slaughter,” not the Iranian people.</p>
<p>But Pahlavi made clear that while American and Israeli firepower struck the regime’s military infrastructure, the final chapter belongs to Iranians themselves.</p>
<p>“Final victory will still be forged by our hands,” he wrote, signaling that the “time to return to the streets is near.”</p>

<p>Earlier on Saturday, President Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-delivers-direct-message-to-iranians-after-major-combat-operation-targets-ayatollah?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Trump+Delivers+Direct+Message+To+Iranians+After+%E2%80%98Major+Combat+Operation%E2%80%99+Targets+Ayatollah">urged</a> Iranians to overthrow their authoritarian regime after the United States finishes its operation.</p>
<p>“To the great, proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand,” Trump said. “Stay sheltered, don’t leave your home. It’s very dangerous outside; bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations.”</p>
<p>Pahlavi, the son of Iran’s last shah, who has lived in exile since the 1979 revolution, issued a similar call to Iranians. He said the Islamic Republic is collapsing and urged citizens to stay ready for what he called the “final action.” For now, he told supporters to remain in their homes and preserve their safety until he gives the signal.</p>
<p>He also issued a direct warning to Iran’s military and security forces: your oath is to Iran and its people — not to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.</p>
<p>Those who continue defending the regime, he warned, risk going down with “Khamenei’s sinking ship.”</p>
<p>Pahlavi thanked Trump directly, calling Iranians “natural allies” of the United States and the free world, and urged the president to exercise caution to avoid civilian casualties as operations continue.</p>
<p>With Iranian missile launches met by coordinated U.S.-Israel strikes on military targets, Pahlavi cast the moment as more than retaliation — but a rare opening to break the regime’s grip for good.</p>
<p>“We are very close to final victory,” he wrote. “Long live Iran.”</p>
