Prince Reza Pahlavi Congratulates Trump: The People of Iran Are Your Best Partners for Peace

Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election sparked widespread reactions on social media from Iranian users, with several political figures and organizations congratulating him. Prince Reza Pahlavi on Wednesday, November 7, congratulated Donald Trump, the elected President of the United States, on the social media platform 'X', stating: 'During your first term, you stood firmly with the people of Iran against the Islamic Republic; a regime that threatens not only the Middle East but also the American people with terror, instability, and chaos.' He also mentioned that 'now you have the opportunity to make history,' telling the 47th elected President of the United States that he can 'leave a legacy of lasting peace by helping to end this threat once and for all.' Prince Reza Pahlavi described the people of Iran as 'the best partners for peace' for the elected President of the United States 'in this mission.' Additionally, the 'Nofdi' organization, a national union for democracy in Iran, emphasized in a statement that Donald Trump took 'bold positions in support of the Iranian people and their struggle for freedom' during his previous presidency and held the criminal Islamic Republic accountable, asserting that Trump's 'maximum pressure strategy' was 'the most effective policy' towards the Islamic Republic in nearly half a century. The nonprofit organization Nofdi stressed that during Trump's first term, 'the Islamic Republic was weakening and the Iranian people became empowered,' which 'served America's national interests.' This Iranian-American organization, congratulating Donald Trump's re-election as the next President of the United States, expressed eagerness to cooperate with him and his team to end the threat of the Islamic Republic against the people of Iran and the United States and expressed hope for 'opening a new chapter of peace, stability, and comfort in the Middle East.' Furthermore, political activist and journalist Masih Alinejad congratulated Mr. Trump's 'clear victory' in the U.S. presidential election, adding: 'The Islamic Republic tried everything, from sending hackers to assassins, but they couldn't stop you.' She noted that many Iranians around the world closely followed the election process in the U.S., stating: 'While the Ayatollahs fear democracy in America, Iranians dream of a country free from Islamist ideology to live in peace with their neighbors and other countries of the world.' Following Donald Trump's victory in the election on Tuesday, November 7, the previous administration's action of killing Qassem Soleimani, the former commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, has again drawn attention from Iranian users on social media. Among them, Ali Karimi, a popular and well-known Iranian football figure and a staunch opponent of the Islamic Republic, referred to Mr. Trump as 'the creator of the first charcoal cutlet' and welcomed his return to the White House. Previously, many opponents of the Islamic Republic have used the term 'cutlet' or 'Qassem cutlet' to refer to the killing of Qassem Soleimani. Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, has been elected as the 47th President of the United States. He is accompanied by JD Vance as his Vice President in this term. He previously held the presidency from 2017 to 2021. Following the announcement of Mr. Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election, officials from various countries congratulated him with messages. The President of France, the Prime Minister of Israel, the President of Ukraine, and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom were among the first world leaders to react to this development with messages.
