Exiled prince urges protesters to block streets to hinder crackdown
Iranian exiled prince Reza Pahlavi on Sunday urged protesters to maintain control of the streets and create road blockages to prevent security forces from carrying out a crackdown.
In a social media post, Pahlavi praised protesters for what he described as their courage during the past week of unrest and called for continued street action.
“The key issue is sustaining control of the streets and creating road blockages to prevent and obstruct the regime’s repression,” he wrote.
He urged protesters to maintain unity and discipline, adding: “Victory is yours.”
Addressing demonstrators directly, Pahlavi said, “I salute each and every one of you who courageously, over the past week, have taken sleep away from Khamenei and his regime.”
He singled out young protesters, referring to them as the “Generation V,” which he said stood for victory.
