Exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi said Saturday he is ready to lead Irans transition "as soon as the Islamic Republic falls."As the war in Iran entered its third week, Pahlavi the son of the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi said he has been working in recent months to develop a transition plan should the Iranian regime collapse to ensure the country does not experience a disruption in governance.Pahlavi said in a social media post that "capable individuals" have been identified both inside and outside Iran to lead what he called a "transitional system.""The transitional system, under my leadership, will be ready to assume governance of the country as soon as the Islamic Republic falls and, in the shortest possible time, establish order, security, freedom and the conditions for Irans prosperity and flourishing," he said.MIKE POMPEO: OPERATION EPIC FURY IS RIGHTEOUS AND REGIME CHANGE MUST FOLLOWPahlavi has lived in exile since the 1979 Islamic Revolution toppled Irans monarchy and established the Islamic Republic.He has in recent years sought to position himself as a unifying opposition figure and has said he would help guide a transition of power from theocracy to democracy in Iran.In a message addressed to his "compatriots," Pahlavi said his plan for governing the country would fall within the framework of the "Iran Prosperity Project."IRANS NEW SUPREME LEADER IS HIS FATHER ON STEROIDS, EXPERTS WARN OF HARDLINE RULEHe said that many compatriots with valuable experience and expertise have declared "their readiness to participate in the rebuilding of the country and to serve the homeland."Since joint operations between the U.S. and Israel began, nearly 50 regime figures have been killed, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.His son, Mojtaba Khamenei, was elected this week by Irans Assembly of Experts as the countrys new supreme leader.TRUMP EXPLORING BACKING MILITIAS IN IRAN TO TOPPLE WEAKENED REGIME FOLLOWING STRIKES: REPORTSIn an appearance last week on Fox News "My View" with Lara Trump, Pahlavi said the Iranian people would not accept any outcome moving forward tied to the current regime."Only a clean break will ensure that not only we achieve a democratic solution and alternative to this regime, but there will be people who are not in any form or shape directly associated with this regime," he said.Pahlavi said the Iranian people must decide their countrys leadership and that "only the ballot box should determine the outcome and who will be responsible for our country in the future.""I think what we will expect any government, including, of course, the current Trump administration to recognize that indeed the best way to help the Iranian people is to allow them to make that choice freely and to support that choice as a Western democracy, as the leading democracy in the world," he said.
