The Call of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi and the Consequences of Repression and Social\u2013Cultural Transformation. <\/b><\/strong>Shahvand Think Tank.<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Section One: The Call and Its Outcomes<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

– Following the public call of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi<\/b><\/strong>, people across most regions of Iran responded in various forms.<\/p>\n

– Street gatherings, assemblies, nighttime graffiti, and the raising of the national flag were recorded in a large number of cities.<\/p>\n

– Images and messages related to this call were widely circulated in public spaces and across communication networks.<\/p>\n

– The central slogans, \u201cThis is the last battle, Pahlavi will return\u201d and \u201cLong live the King,\u201d became the common expression of this presence.<\/p>\n

– Simultaneously, Iranians abroad coordinated their actions, strengthening the connection between domestic and diaspora communities.<\/p>\n

– The shared message of this movement was a complete rejection of the Islamic Republic, the demand to reclaim Iran, and acceptance of the leadership of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Section Two: Repression<\/b><\/strong>, Massacre<\/b><\/strong>, Internet Blackouts, and Their Consequences<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

– As protests intensified, the regime escalated organized repression.<\/p>\n

– Widespread internet shutdowns were employed as a tool to conceal killings and prevent the flow of information.<\/p>\n

– Numerous reports documented daily executions of prisoners, the killing of the wounded in hospitals, the abduction of protesters, transfers to unknown locations, and acts of sexual assault in detention centers.<\/p>\n

– Public opinion holds the Islamic Republic and its security apparatus directly responsible for these actions.<\/p>\n

– According to Donald Trump<\/b><\/strong>, the scale of the Massacre\u00a0has exceeded 32,000, far beyond the figures reported by the regime.<\/p>\n

– In response, calls for military strikes by the United States<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0and Israel<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0against IRGC, Basij, and other repression networks have been openly expressed in slogans and public statements, aiming to weaken the machinery of oppression and allow citizens to return to the streets to overthrow the regime.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Section Three: Mourning as Action, Universities, and Shifts in Intellectual Landscape<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

– Public mourning has moved beyond the framework of state-imposed Islam and transformed into a national and identity-driven act.<\/p>\n

– Islamic rituals have been replaced by Shahnameh recitations, music, ceremonial dances, and Iranian cultural symbols.<\/p>\n

– Universities have become the center of this transformation; national flags are raised, and slogans such as \u201cThis is the last battle, Pahlavi will return\u201d and \u201cLong live the King\u201d are widely heard.<\/p>\n

– Leftist, reformist, and regime-aligned currents have lost their influence in universities and cultural centers.<\/p>\n

– Within this context, the meeting of Dariush Ashouri<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0with Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, along with a group of writers, poets, and scholars with independent national-left backgrounds, reflects a notable shift in a segment of Iran\u2019s intellectual community.<\/p>\n

– This alignment signifies a distancing from opposition to Pahlavi, opposition which had previously aligned them, in practice, with the Islamic Republic.<\/p>\n

– At the same time, patriotic forces and supporters of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi have become the dominant current within academic spaces, openly expressing pride in Iranian identity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The intellectual vacuum that had long been filled by leftist currents in universities is now gradually being filled by patriotic forces.<\/p>\n

The Lion and Sun Revolution, to overcome the Islamic Republic and achieve a transitional period, requires the unity of all people, across different backgrounds, social groups, and ideologies; a unity that can only be effective under the leadership of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi.<\/p>\n
