Former shah of Iran calls joint US-Israel attack ‘humanitarian intervention’ from POTUS
Reza Pahlavi, the former crown prince of Iran, described the joint US-Israel attack on the country as promised “aid,” and an act of “humanitarian intervention” by President Donald Trump.
Following the reported nationwide strikes, Pahlavi called on Iranian citizens to abandon support for the regime, and the U.S. to “exercise the utmost caution” to preserve civilian lives.
“Moments of destiny lie ahead of us,” Pahlavi wrote in a statement on social media. “… Even with the arrival of this aid, the final victory will still be forged by our hands. It is we, the people of Iran, who will finish the job in this final battle. The time to return to the streets is near.”
“Now that the Islamic Republic is collapsing, my message to the country’s military, police, and security forces is clear: You have sworn an oath to protect Iran and the Iranian people — not the Islamic Republic and its leaders,” he continued. “Your duty is to defend the people, not a regime that has taken our homeland hostage through repression and crime. Join the people and help bring about a stable and secure transition. Otherwise, you will go down with Khamenei’s sinking ship and his regime.”
Pahlavi warned citizens to remain in their homes and stay vigilant, so that when he announces an “appropriate time,” Iranians can “return to the streets for the final action.”
“We are very close to final victory,” he wrote. “I want to be by your side as soon as possible so that together we can take back and rebuild Iran.”

Hell, it’s been on since November 4th, 1979
The only difference is now we’re actively engaging.
Watching the progda twist themselves into knots complaining about this not being necessary is fucking hilarious, though. Someone needed to punch the bully in the nose for 40 years
Cue Lars in 4…3…2…
Of course it isn’t strictly necessary. That doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be done. There were a lot who wanted to do it after the Iraq invasion with Iran constantly providing munitions and training to the insurgency in Iraq and the Taliban, after first assisting to overthrow the Taliban.
Hell I wanted to do it while we were in Iraq in 91. While we had the men and firepower in the region and I didn’t care how much my legs hurt.
Watching on X its epic, just a shit ton of ordnance has been dropped…Feels good mens gold in hockey,and now the Great Satan kicking some Hadji ass lololol cue FREEBIRD
The US has been playing patty-cake with these assholes long enough.
However, the biggest risk is that the power vacuum that will possibly be created might well be filled with something worse, if that’s possible.
Even if it does create a vacuum, the new leaders may heed the signs that you don’t fuck around when a strong Republican is in The White House.
There were elements within the insurgency promising to target the families of those supporting the Islamic Regime. There’s likely next generation marxists slithering amongst them also.
If these elements have not made themselves useful by heroically martyring themselves by now, they need to be comprehensively hunted down and wiped out asamfp. It might be useful to condition our aid on such a purge happening.
Then maybe I can die without worrying about the U.S. ever having to go back there.
President Obama = Delivers billions of dollars in cash on military aircraft to Iran in the dead of night.
President Trump = Delivers billions of dollars in munitions on military aircraft to Iran in the dead of night.
We are not the same.
Not to mention the pallets of cash Obama sent was used to finance efforts to undermine American interests, destabilize the region, and fund terrorism and Iranian proxies. If those actions don’t meet the criteria of treason, I don’t know what does.
Trump’s second year in office is kicking off with a bang.
Not tired of winning yet.

I was under the impression that the former Shah was quite dead.
