Exiled prince warns Iranian military of 'final chance' to stand up to the regime

Exiled Iranian Prince Reza Pahlavi is pushing for regime change in Tehran, asserting that the regime is "near collapse."

In a post on X, Pahlavi encouraged the people of Iran to rise up and warned military personnel that this is their "final chance" to stand with the public against the regime.

"To the military—as you’re given orders to lash out at the people—stand down. This is your final chance. You are being watched. We will remember who stood with the people and who committed crimes against them," Pahlavi wrote on X.

EXILED PRINCE LOOKS TO LEAD IRANIAN PEOPLE IN ENDING ISLAMIC REPUBLIC: 'OUR BERLIN WALL MOMENT'

On Monday, Pahlavi held a news conference in Paris, where he announced the launch of a secure platform for military, police and security personnel looking to defect from the regime to contact him and his team. He implied that he was already receiving such messages, saying that the platform would "efficiently manage the growing volume of inbound communications and requests from those breaking with the regime and seeking to join our movement."

The exiled prince also issued a message to the world, urging the international community to let the "corrupt, crumbling, terrorist regime" in Iran fall.

"Do not prop up a regime that will, soon again, turn its guns, missiles, and terror toward you," Pahlavi wrote.

The message posted on X comes one day after Pahlavi proposed that he lead Iran to democracy. He said it is the Iranian people’s "Berlin Wall moment," as the future of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s regime remains uncertain following the destruction of Tehran’s nuclear program. Khamenei was reportedly hiding in a bunker during the U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

"I am here today to submit myself to my compatriots to lead them down this road to peace and a democratic transition," Pahlavi said on Monday. "I do not seek political power, but rather to help our great nation navigate through this critical hour toward stability, freedom, and justice." 

In a direct message to Khamenei, Pahlavi said, "Step down. And if you do, you will receive a fair trial and due process of law. Which is more than you have ever given any Iranian."

Pahlavi’s late father, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran, was overthrown during the 1979 Iranian Revolution. 

In February, Pahlavi spoke at the Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy, where he called for international action against Khamenei’s regime and said Iranians were ready to reclaim their "stolen country."

Top Biden officials summoned to testify about alleged cover-up of former president's mental fitness

The House Oversight Committee is hearing from two top former Biden administration aides this week as Republicans continue to probe allegations that ex-President Joe Biden's top lieutenants covered up the former leader’s mental decline while in office.

Former Domestic Policy Council Director Neera Tanden will meet with the committee on Tuesday, and former Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor to the First Lady Anthony Bernthal will meet with the committee on Thursday.

The committee also has interviews scheduled with former administration officials Annie Tomasini and Ashley Williams, while seeking interviews with several officials in the Biden inner circle, including former Chief of Staff Ron Klain and former Senior Advisor to the President for Communications Anita Dunn. 

Biden’s former doctor, Kevin O’Connor, will sit down with House investigators in July.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., is probing whether those closest to Biden in his White House knowingly colluded to hide the former president's declining mental acuity and used methods to circumvent the former president when it came to the issuance of important orders.

President Donald Trump also ordered the Department of Justice to open an investigation into the matter. The president directed Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House counsel David Warrington to handle the investigation.

In response to the Trump administration's call for an investigation, Biden declared he was the only one who "made the decisions" during his presidency and called Trump's efforts a "distraction."

Among the questions House investigators are expected to have is whether any Biden officials used the autopen to authorize executive actions without the president's permission. 

The sit-downs are behind closed doors, as opposed to public congressional hearings.

The interviews will be transcribed and likely released at a later date.

Comer previously told Fox News Digital that the more muted setting of a closed-door interview would allow House lawmakers to get more key information, as opposed to the public spectacle of a hearing.

"I’ve studied history, there’s never been a committee hearing that did what it’s supposed to do," Comer said.

"But these depositions and interviews, do. You’ve got one hour, you’re not interrupted, you don’t have to go five minutes back and forth. So to extract information, we’re going to go with the interviews. We could have a hearing later on, but right now, I think we can get more done quicker with interviews."
