The New Persian Times 🇮🇷🇺🇸

Congratulations 45th & 47th @POTUS !

Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi at NatCon 2024: “The Islamic Republic may have taken hold of Iran, but it has never taken hold of Iranians' love of country.” The army rising against this regime is the Iranian people. “We will fight, we will die, we will reclaim Iran.” A national reawakening that is an Iranian project, not something cooked up in Washington, London, Berlin or Paris.

Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi at NatCon 2024: “The problem that began in Iran must be ended in Iran.” Not a war between Iran and the West, he says, but the war of a radical ideology on all nations, and Iran was its first victim. For 45 years, his compatriots have been held hostage. Part 2 of 9. Follow The New Persian Times for the full speech. #NEWPERSIANTIMES #RezaPahlavi #NatCon2024 #FreeIran #Iran #IslamicRepublic

"The war has been started. If you start something, you have to finish it." @nathanbik on the war with the Islamic Republic and why stopping halfway gives the IRGC time to rebuild. From NPT Weekly with Aueen (آیین) and Nathaniel Bikhman, recorded Oct 17, 2026. Full episode on YouTube. #FreeIran #IRGC

Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi at NatCon 2024: “Western civilization, and the United States in particular, is at risk.” He says Iran was the testing ground 45 years ago for what his late father called the unholy alliance of the red and the black: radical Marxism and radical Islamism.

James O'Keefe and Cam Higby charged with felony unlawful voting and identity theft in Minnesota. Prosecutors say they gave poll workers other voters' names, some dead, while filming during the August primary. Neither voted. Court Nov 16. #NEWPERSIANTIMES

7 Aban, Cyrus the Great Day. In 539 BC he entered Babylon and let its captives go home. In 1971 the Shah stood at his tomb: "Cyrus, rest easy, for we are awake." Since 2016 the Islamic Republic has sealed off the tomb on this day. (AI images) #NEWPERSIANTIMES

Tommy Robinson found guilty of harassing two Daily Mail journalists: a 10–2 jury verdict on both counts of harassment causing fear of violence. He hired investigators to find their homes and told one, "I'm coming to get you." Sentencing Dec 16; up to 10 years. #NEWPERSIANTIMES

Melania Trump’s Ukraine–Russia ceasefire is in effect and now “expanded beyond Oleshky, within the Kherson region.” Ukraine’s ombudsman confirms it holds across Kherson; Russia says it stopped shelling. Next: aid convoys. #NEWPERSIANTIMES

The Islamic Republic sentences Palme d’Or winner Jafar Panahi to five years in prison and seizes all his assets. His lawyer: sentenced in absentia, never told of the hearing, found out when his accounts were frozen. HRANA, THR. #NEWPERSIANTIMES

Flávio Bolsonaro has left Brazil for the US, per Reuters and CNN. A senior State Dept official: Washington “will issue visas to Flavio Bolsonaro and his family.” Brazil cancelled his passports after he missed Moraes’s deadline. #NEWPERSIANTIMES

Masih Alinejad, in Poland, with four bodyguards and Elvis's "Trouble": "I can't be intimidated." 724K views, most of the comments laughing. The threat is real (three Islamic Republic plots on US soil); so is the regime Iranians face at home with no detail at all. #NEWPERSIANTIMES

US Embassy Riyadh, its staff ordered out Oct 21 over "Iranian-supported Houthis... attacks on civilian airports": "Take extreme caution if you choose to use airports in Saudi Arabia." 22 killed at Saudi airports since Oct 6; two more missiles over Riyadh Tuesday. #NEWPERSIANTIMES

IRGC Navy chief Ozmaei (Oct. 23): the Americans "have moved 600 to 700 kilometers away" from Hormuz. CENTCOM today: "This is FALSE." US forces "remain present and vigilant in the Strait of Hormuz" and with partners control it, "clearly not Iran." @CENTCOM #NEWPERSIANTIMES

Pahlavi's recruitment campaign "is now entering a new phase": from soldiers and officials "who wished to break away from the Islamic Republic" to "Iranians across all sections of society." His office's warning: verify @BarkhizIranBot before sending anything. #NEWPERSIANTIMES

Israel exit polls: Netanyahu's Likud is the largest party (24–25 seats), but the bloc against him leads 52–53 to 50 and nobody has 61. Arab-led parties at a record 17–18. Who governs Israel decides who faces the Islamic Republic beside Trump. #NEWPERSIANTIMES

“Back in 2009 during the Green Movement there was a big debate in the White House if I should help the Iranian people…and in retrospect I think that was a mistake.” Former President Barrack Hussein Obama

Pahlavi: "We have a clear plan to end the Islamic Republic and manage the country after it falls... To those serving in the military, police, and security forces: stand with the people, not the regime." Ghalibaf, earlier: the unseen leader is "in full health." #NEWPERSIANTIMES

Obama, at his first midterm rally: Trump "seems very focused on home renovations. He should be on HGTV... He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory." Trump, Monday: "that just shows why you were a lousy president." #NEWPERSIANTIMES
