My fellow compatriots:
This week’s monumental human tragedy brings with it the distinct possibility, that once again, the international community and the media may negatively discuss Iran and Iranians.
As freedom loving Iranians, it is incumbent upon us to exhibit to the world, in a very public way, our deepest sympathy for the victims and the surviving families of this tragedy. As a people, we are compelled to definitively express our solidarity with all peace-loving citizens of the world and express our deep disdain for this and similar barbaric actions and policies.
The world must know that the people of Iran, who are themselves victims of terrorism and violence, are united with the rest of the world in this grief and stand apart from Iran’s ruling regime and its inhumane policies of extremism.
May God protect Iran
Reza Pahlavi
