In a message, Prince Reza Pahlavi invited all Iranians to join the "campaign of national cooperation to save Iran" and asked the army, law enforcement and security forces to stand by the people to receive a letter of protection. He said that those who remain with the oppressors and participate in crimes against the people will be held accountable to the law and justice. Saying the Islamic Republic is weaker than ever, Prince Reza Pahlavi said government leaders fear a nationwide uprising that will end its life. He added: He saw the control of the Revolutionary Guards over the pillars of the state and the looting of national resources as the main cause of worsening the economic and security situation in Iran.
