Iranian Crown Prince Urges Citizens to Await ‘Final Call’ as Pressure Mounts on Tehran

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Washington D.C. Bureau Chief

(Worthy News) – Iran’s exiled crown prince, Reza Pahlavi, has called on the Iranian people to prepare for what he described as the decisive stage of their struggle against the Islamic regime, urging citizens to await his “final call” as tensions continue to escalate in the country.

In a video message published Wednesday on his official social media accounts, Pahlavi encouraged Iranians to prepare essential provisions and remain inside their homes for safety while continuing acts of civil resistance.

“Dear compatriots, we are now at the decisive stage of our final struggle,” Pahlavi said. “Prepare provisions and essentials as soon as possible and remain inside your homes.”

He urged the population to intensify pressure on the regime through labor strikes and public demonstrations.

“Continue to strike and do not show up for work,” he said. “Continue your nightly chants to show your unity.”

Pahlavi also issued a warning to members of Iran’s military and security forces who remain loyal to the ruling government.

“This is your last chance to break from the oppressive forces and join your people,” he said. “Await my final call.”

According to reports, a similar message was broadcast last week on the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) Channel Two after the network was hacked. In that message, Pahlavi reportedly urged military personnel to side with the Iranian people against the ruling authorities.

The call for Iranians to remain indoors came shortly after Iran’s police chief, Ahmad-Reza Radam, warned that demonstrators would be treated as enemies of the state.

“We will do to them what we do to enemies,” Radam said during a televised statement. “All of our men have their fingers on the trigger and are ready to defend their revolution.”

Radam added that security forces were prepared to sacrifice their lives to defend the Islamic Republic.

Meanwhile, Pahlavi has been working with advisers on what he describes as an “Emergency Phase” plan for governing Iran should the Islamic Republic collapse.

The proposal outlines a transitional government designed to stabilize the country until democratic elections can be held. It includes drafting a new constitution, restructuring Iran’s political institutions, dismantling the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and reforming the nation’s economic and legal systems.

Pahlavi has emphasized that he does not seek permanent authority, describing himself as “a bridge, rather than the destination,” in Iran’s transition toward democracy.

His message comes amid a widening military campaign against Tehran. The United States and Israel are currently conducting joint strikes inside Iran following the breakdown of nuclear negotiations earlier this year.

Pentagon officials confirmed Tuesday that U.S. forces have struck more than 5,000 targets in Iran since the start of the conflict on Feb. 28, focusing on missile stockpiles, naval capabilities, and the country’s defense industrial infrastructure.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also addressed the Iranian people directly, urging them to seize what he called a historic opportunity for freedom.

“People of Iran, we are waging a historic war for liberty,” Netanyahu wrote on social media. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you to remove the Ayatollah regime and gain your freedom.”

U.S. President Donald Trump likewise appealed to the Iranian population, saying the moment had come for them to reclaim their country.

“The hour of your freedom is at hand,” Trump said. “When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take.”

Prophecy Perspective?

Many students of biblical prophecy note that Jeremiah’s oracle concerning Elam — a region historically associated with parts of modern-day Iran — contains a remarkable pattern of judgment followed by restoration in the “latter days.” In Jeremiah 49:37–39, the Lord declares that He will bring disaster upon Elam, scatter its people, and even “destroy the king and the princes,” signaling the collapse of earthly power structures that oppose His purposes. Yet the prophecy does not end in destruction. In the same passage God promises, “in the latter days I will restore the fortunes of Elam.” For many end-time watchers, the passage suggests that upheaval in the region — including the removal of rulers and officials — could ultimately become part of a larger divine narrative in which judgment clears the way for restoration. In the biblical pattern, the shaking of nations is not merely about political change but about God asserting His sovereignty, opening the door for renewal and ultimately revealing His redemptive purposes even in lands long marked by conflict.
