Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi at the European Parliament (Brussels, early Nov 2026) answered a question on the January (Dey) uprising, the role of security forces who joined the people, and how trust can be rebuilt for legitimate self defense. Key points from his response (based on the session footage): • The Islamic Republic has lost legitimacy; the practical balance of power now lies in Iran’s streets, which will allow the people to reclaim their rights. • The regime’s standard tactics internet blackouts, violent suppression, intimidation, and attempts to demoralize the population have not broken public resolve. The bloodshed has instead deepened the divide. • The struggle continues until Iran is free. He emphasized minimizing casualties and costs when mobilizing, while strengthening people for self defense and legitimate defense (including coordinated external support for tools and pressure on regime agents who rely on brutality). • Tactics are being adjusted as part of the ongoing strategy of deepening internal regime fractures, encouraging defections, and building capacity on the ground.
