Prince Reza Pahlavi, on Friday, September 30, during a speech at the "Israeli-American" council meeting in Washington, linked the killing of Iranian protesters in 1401 and the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, stating: "The criminal in both cases is the Islamic Republic and Ali Khamenei." In his speech, he referred to the recent anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death in custody and the beginning of public protests in Iran, as well as the upcoming anniversary of Hamas's "terrorist" attack on Israel, adding: "The only way to establish peace between Iran and the United States, Israel, and the Arabs is to throw the Islamic Republic into the dustbin of history." Prince Reza Pahlavi addressed the Israelis, saying: "The Islamic Republic came after our Iran before it came after you. Now, to solve this problem, standing together is not enough; it is time to act. A campaign must be formed to destroy the Islamic Republic forever—a campaign that brings peace to the U.S., Israel, Arab countries, and Iran." He also emphasized: "The people of Iran have made their position clear; they fight the Islamic Republic every day without any support from the outside world. They are fighting not only for their own freedom but for the freedom of the Middle East and the world from the evil of this regime. When the people of Iran make such sacrifices, do not leave them alone." The son of the late Shah of Iran called for an end to appeasement with the Islamic Republic, noting: "The Islamic Republic launches missiles at American soldiers and Israeli civilians and shoots at the eyes of Iranian protesters. There should be no appeasement with the Iranian regime. The people of Iran are aware of the pain of the Israeli people and stand with them." He proposed upgrading the "Abraham Accords" to the "Cyrus Accord," stating: "I hereby declare my readiness to create an active campaign with the two countries, the U.S. and Israel, and I extend a hand of friendship and cooperation for the success of this campaign." The "Israeli-American" council meeting opened on Friday in Washington and will continue for three days. In this gathering, politicians and policymakers will discuss U.S.-Israel relations and the latest developments between the two countries. Former U.S. President Donald Trump was also among the speakers at the opening ceremony of this meeting.
