From “Ey Iran” to “Pahlavi Comeback”

A cultural, symbolic, and social approach to the revival of a free and secular Iran
With special emphasis on: minimal organization and maximum participation

  1. Return of Identity, Leadership, and National Hope

Iran has entered a stage of social convergence. From Nowruz and Chaharshanbe Suri to popular gatherings, signs indicate a search for a return to a modern, orderly, and dignified Iran.

Two central symbols of this atmosphere:

  • The anthem “Ey Iran” — the language of feeling and national belonging

  • The slogan “Pahlavi Comeback” — the language of hope and leadership

These two, along with the key structural principle of “minimal organization,” form the foundation of the “National Revolution” movement: a cultural and civil movement that enables the highest level of participation with the least organizational complexity.

  1. Three Intellectual Pillars of the National Revolution

  • Modern Iranian nationalism: a new Iran, a blend of tradition and modernity; a secular, advanced, and orderly country.

  • Leadership of Prince Reza Pahlavi: symbol of historical continuity, political ethics, and hope for a democratic future.

  • Secularism and democratic coexistence: separation of religion from political power and respect for social diversity.

Core principle: all goals must grow from minimal organization — cellular networks with a low threshold for entry; focus on broad attraction, not centralized control.

  1. Cultural and Social Tools of the Movement (with a Minimal organization)

  2. Music and the national anthem
    Collective singing of “Ey Iran” is a low-risk symbolic act that facilitates maximum participation — a small meaningful action that can be widespread and coordinated without the need for a complex structure.

  3. Promoting national cooperation and internal system leakage
    Public information and messaging platforms (such as the official Prince’s website (https://iranopasmigirim.com)) act as catalysts for ideas; the focus is on public invitation, not field instructions. The goal is to attract a wide spectrum of citizens and even elements within the system toward national legitimacy.

  4. National rituals as grounds for presence
    Nowruz, Sizdah Bedar, and Chaharshanbe Suri are natural spaces of unity. These events are cultural actions — easy to participate in, hard to deny their meaning.

  5. Diaspora and global soft power
    Diaspora is a media and cultural arm; coordination should be decentralized, symbolic, and logistical, not field-controlled.

Characteristics of minimal organization:

  • Low participation threshold: simple and symbolic actions that anyone can join.

  • Cellular networks: small, self-managed local groups without direct contact with each other, connected to the Prince’s website.

  • Common semantic axis: short, understandable, and widespread messages that bring people into the arena without making them responsible for designing or leading operations.

  1. Path of Action: Principles and Stages

First stage — Cultural awakening

  • Wide and spontaneous implementation of “Ey Iran” and dissemination of simple artistic content

  • Formation of small, self-managed local cells without the need for centralized structure

  • Publication of empathetic and inclusive messages to reduce psychological barriers to participation

Second stage — Social solidarity

  • Symbolic and coordinated gatherings in the form of cultural rituals; without hierarchical calls

  • Cellular networking focused on joint actions

  • Strengthening ties with the diaspora within the framework of symbolic messaging

Third stage — Political demand for regime change

  • Transition of demands into clear political claims: transition to a secular democratic system and holding a referendum under international supervision

Guiding principle: all stages progress with minimal central organization; the leadership role of the Prince is maintained.

  1. Smart presence and confronting regime reactions

The regime may use cultural spaces for diversion. The response: smart presence in the same spaces (singing the anthem, displaying symbols) — without field calls or tactical training. This type of presence, based on minimal organization, shows that the movement lives in the heart of culture and does not need a complex structure.

  1. Minimal organization, the key to maximum participation

The National Revolution of Iran is formed by the union of three elements: national feeling, reconstructed identity, and ethical leadership. But the condition is minimal organization: cellular networks, low-cost and widespread actions, and leadership that invites and guides people. This low-risk strategy with broad attraction can transform the cultural revolution into a legitimate political process.

Analytical Appendix

From passivity to action: how to transform the inactive opponent into a national active force?

Central question: Instead of asking “Why didn’t people come?”, one should ask: “How can participation be facilitated?”

Barriers to participation: fear of personal costs, economic fatigue, doubt about effectiveness, and lack of trust in the future.

Messaging and structural solutions (non-tactical):

  1. Empathetic and guarantee-based messages to reduce perceptual risk

  2. Hopeful and tangible narration of the possibility of change

  3. Creating “low-risk participation” opportunities (cultural and symbolic acts)

  4. Promoting self-managed cellular networks (minimal organization) for collective feeling without hierarchy

  5. Transparency and leadership guarantees to convert trust into participation

Turning feeling into action requires cultural tools — music, symbol, ritual — and simple structures that make entry possible for all. Minimal organization, along with identity coherence and ethical leadership, is the way out of passivity.
