On June 17, 2025, Reza Pahlavi, the former Crown Prince of Iran, announced on his official X (formerly Twitter) account a comprehensive plan for the period following the collapse of the current Iranian regime. He asserted that the Islamic system is on the verge of collapse and that detailed preparations are underway for the first 100 days after the fall to ensure a peaceful transition to a national democratic government representing the Iranian people.
Details of the Transitional Plan
Reza Pahlavi emphasized that there is a clear plan for the transitional period aimed at avoiding chaos or civil war, focusing on establishing a national democratic government “by the people and for the people.” He called for unity among Iranians from various cities, including Bandar Abbas, Shiraz, and Tabriz, to bring an end to the current regime.
He also issued a special appeal to security forces, military personnel, and government employees, urging them not to side with the collapsing regime but to join the people to preserve their lives and help build Iran’s new future.
Controversy and Criticism
Despite the reassuring tone of the statement, Reza Pahlavi’s announcement sparked significant controversy within and outside the Iranian opposition. Some critics labeled him a “Western puppet” or an “agent of Mossad,” arguing that his plan does not reflect the true aspirations of the Iranian people. These criticisms highlight deep divisions within the opposition regarding his potential leadership role during the transitional phase.
Political and Historical Context
Reza Pahlavi, son of the last Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, left the country following the 1979 Islamic Revolution and has since become one of the most prominent figures in the Iranian opposition abroad. His visit to Israel in 2023 and meeting with the Israeli president stirred additional controversy and criticism among Iranians.
He maintains a strong presence on social media platforms, with millions of followers, amplifying his influence within the anti-regime political landscape.
Analysis and Conclusions
Pahlavi’s plan clearly focuses on ensuring an organized and peaceful transfer of power, avoiding chaos and civil war that could jeopardize Iran’s future. His call to the security forces reflects a strategy to reduce potential resistance and foster national consensus.
However, questions remain about the practical readiness of this plan, especially given the significant political and logistical challenges involved in any radical regime change in Iran.
