He also urged all Iranians to take to the streets on January 10 and 11 at 6:00 PM, armed with national flags and symbols.
According to Pahlavi, the goals of the current protests have changed.
He noted: "Now our goal is not just to be on the streets, but to prepare for the capture and retention of urban centers."
The prince called on protesters to move towards city centers via various routes, to unite, and to be ready for a prolonged presence on the streets. He also addressed the youth from the "Immortal Guard" group and military personnel who joined the opposition "National Cooperation Platform," urging them to slow down the actions of the repressive apparatus.
Furthermore, Pahlavi expressed his readiness to return to Iran.
"I am also preparing to return to my homeland to be with you, the great people of Iran, at the moment of triumph of our national revolution. I am confident that this day is near," he added.
Protests in Iran have been ongoing for 13 days. According to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), since January 8, there have been 116 protests across 22 provinces, with 20 of them gathering more than a thousand participants.
The NetBlocks project, which monitors the internet, reported a complete network shutdown for 36 hours across the country. The foreign ministers of Australia, Canada, and the European Union issued a joint statement condemning the actions of the Iranian authorities, including the killings and arrests of protesters.
Earlier, the Iranian army announced its readiness to participate in suppressing the mass protests sweeping the country.
