Prince Reza Pahlavi, on Saturday, at a speech at the Cyrus the Great event in Toronto, praised “the dignity and authenticity of the Iranian people,” and emphasized people’s readiness and organization to overthrow the Islamic Republic, saying that “Iran’s morning of freedom” is close.

He said: “Let’s have faith that the enemy is crumbling from within and hollow, and that we are more determined and more organized than ever. Let’s believe that the morning of freedom is near. Long live and glorious be Iran; may the revolution of the lion and sun of the great Iranian nation prevail.”

Prince Reza Pahlavi, praising the dignity and authenticity of the Iranian people, said: “The regime tried to buy the will of the people by exploiting poverty and empty tables, by distributing rice and oil. But what was the people’s response? A clear example is our brave compatriots in Abadanan [Abadanān], who, despite economic problems, did not submit to humiliation. This is a sign of our nation’s self-respect and authenticity. The honorable nation of Iran—have faith in this national unity, in this authenticity, in the path we are taking.”
