Prince Reza Pahlavi said on Saturday at a speech at the Cyrus the Great event in Toronto that a rift and lack of trust have emerged among the highest decision-making echelons of the Islamic Republic, and Mojtaba is missing, and if he is alive, he does not have the courage to even publish a voice of his own in the darkness of a basement.

He added: “Ali Khamenei and many of the regime’s top commanders have been killed. Mojtaba is missing, and if he is alive, he does not have the courage to even publish a voice of his own in the darkness of a basement. Many of the regime’s civilian and military forces have announced their separation from the regime through secure communication channels and have joined the people.”

Prince Reza Pahlavi said: “We have precise information that the regime’s intelligence–security organizations, in their think tanks, are frightened by the power of the revolutionary networks of the Iranian people. A rift and lack of trust have emerged in the highest layers of the regime’s decision-making.”
