🚨🇮🇷 47 years ago, a revolution built on the promise of Islamic justice took power in Tehran.
Today its Supreme Leader died in rubble while his own people danced in the streets.
The people celebrating tonight, the same people the regime shot in the streets in 2019, in 2022, last December, they've been ready for this moment for years.
History will argue about whether this was legal. Whether it was wise. Whether what comes next is better or worse.
But nobody will argue about what happened.
The most powerful theocratic regime on earth was decapitated in a single Saturday morning.
And when the news broke, Iranians didn't mourn. They cheered and they danced.
🚨🇮🇷 Reza Pahlavi just spoke.
The son of the last Shah of Iran. The man who has waited 47 years for this moment.
He called Khamenei "the bloodthirsty Zahhak of our time," invoking the ancient Persian myth of the tyrant with serpents growing from his shoulders who fed on the brains of Iran's youth.
He declared the Islamic Republic over.
He called on the military to stand down and join the people.
He promised a "massive and decisive presence in the streets" is coming.
This is the opposition government in waiting speaking directly to the Iranian people on the night the regime lost its head.
47 years in exile. One Saturday in March.
