Last night on Hannity, exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi told the American people what many of us already suspected: the clerical regime in Tehran is shaky and the Iranian people are more determined than ever to see it fall. Pahlavi’s message, delivered on January 6, 2026, was blunt and unapologetic — a direct appeal to the brave Iranians risking everything in the streets for liberty. His words are a wake-up call that the cracks in the Islamic Republic are widening and should not be ignored by free nations.
What erupted in late December and spilled into January was not a fleeting demonstration but a nationwide revolt driven by economic collapse, soaring inflation, and chronic corruption that have bled ordinary Iranians dry. From Tehran’s historic Grand Bazaar to university campuses and small towns, citizens have taken to the streets demanding dignity and rights long denied to them by clerical rulers. The regime’s violent backlash — mass arrests, lethal force, and attacks on hospitals — only proves how fragile and illegitimate their grip on power has become.
Patriotic Iranians are not protesting for foreign agendas; they are protesting for bread, work, and the chance to raise their children without fear. When bazaar merchants and truckers walk off the job, you know a regime’s social contract has been broken, and that is exactly what we are seeing across dozens of cities. Conservatives who believe in human dignity should stand with these protesters and recognize that the demand for freedom is universal, not subject to the fashionable hypocrisies of the international left.
Reza Pahlavi is no fringe voice — he is the son of a modernizing Iran and a symbol for those who want a future of liberty instead of clerical tyranny. His call for the security forces and civil servants to refuse the orders of brutal commanders is a clarion for peaceful transition rather than endless bloodshed, and America should make clear its moral and diplomatic support. Weakness or silence from Washington would be a betrayal of the very values that built this country; strength and clarity would inspire those risking their lives for freedom.
The regime tried the old playbook — internet shutdowns, blaming foreign enemies, and painting protesters as rioters — but those tactics only underscore their desperation. Cutting off communications and raiding hospitals are the last gasps of a system that has lost consent and legitimacy, and the world should treat these crimes with the same outrage we reserve for other human-rights atrocities. America must champion unrestricted access to information and back sanctions targeted at the clerical leadership, not the Iranian people.
This is a moment for Americans who believe in liberty to speak plainly: stand with the Iranian people, not with the ayatollahs. We owe it to the brave men and women risking everything to see Iran reborn as a free nation to press for strong diplomatic pressure, steadfast moral support, and practical measures that protect protesters and expose regime brutality. Patriots know freedom is not given; it is defended, and today that defense is happening on the streets of Iran — let us not stand on the sidelines.
