I had the immense honor, together with fellow Iranian patriots from across Europe, to meet His Majesty Reza Shah Pahlavi in Paris for an important discussion on Iran’s future.
What stood out most was a clear and shared understanding: the Iranian people inside the country are more united than ever—and the momentum for change is real. The coming weeks and months may prove decisive. The focus of our discussions was not abstract. It was practical, urgent, and forward-looking—how to strengthen coordination, build structured and nationwide efforts, and support the growing unity among those who seek a free and sovereign hashtag Iran. We also discussed the importance of international engagement, and how the Iranian cause must continue to be clearly and forcefully represented to governments across Europe and beyond.
A special note of appreciation to HRH Yasmine Pahlavi, whose words reminded us of the vital role Iranians abroad play—not only politically, but also in preserving and promoting the richness of Iranian culture worldwide.
There is a sense of direction. There is a sense of purpose. And above all, there is hope.
