In a bold claim today, Reza Pahlavi, son of Iran’s last Shah, warned the Islamic Republic is on the verge of collapse. In an interview with Fox News, Pahlavi said the regime is “ten times weaker than two weeks ago”, calling this a major chance for Iranians to rise up and bring change at home 

He repeated words he shared on Yahoo Finance: “The moment is approaching very fast, the regime is on the verge of collapse.” In his eyes, this is not a if—but a when.

This moment comes amid growing public anger and recent Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear and military sites, which hit top commanders and scientists. Many see these as weakening the regime's grip.

Across the country, people are struggling under an economic crisis—inflation, joblessness, and power cuts have stirred public unrest . Meanwhile, visible protests like the Women, Life, Freedom movement have challenged the theocracy again and again. 

Pahlavi is calling for nationwide strikes, street protests, and help from the “free world” to end the regime from within . He’s also backing the Iran Prosperity Project, a vision to rebuild Iran with democracy and a stronger economy once clerical rule ends.

In simple terms: Pahlavi believes Iran’s leaders are losing control. He says “This is the best opportunity to remove the regime” and bring real democracy to Iran.

For Trend Rage, the key takeaway is loud and clear: As Iran reels from external attacks and deep internal cracks, a window for dramatic change may be opening. The big question—will Iranians seize it? Or will the regime hold on?
