Iran is facing a historic moment in which the question of a peaceful, democratic transition has become central to the future of the country. Millions of Iranians inside the country and across the diaspora seek a path away from repression and toward a system based on human rights, rule of law, and the will of the people.

In this context, many Iranians view Reza Pahlavi as a unifying national figure who has consistently spoken about democracy, secular governance, and the right of the Iranian people to determine their own political system through a free referendum after transition. For many, his role is not seen as ideological or partisan, but as a potential facilitator of unity during a sensitive transitional period.

This petition is not about restoring any past system, nor about deciding Iran’s future form of government. That decision belongs solely to the people of Iran through a democratic process once conditions for free choice exist.

Rather, this is a civic expression of support from Iranians and supporters of democracy who believe that Reza Pahlavi can play a constructive and stabilizing role in helping guide a peaceful transition and amplifying the voice of the Iranian people on the international stage.

We call on democratic governments, international institutions, and global leaders to recognize and respect this visible expression of support from Iranians, and to engage accordingly with representatives who reflect the will and aspirations of the people during this critical period.

By signing, we express our support for a democratic transition in Iran and for Reza Pahlavi as a unifying figure who many believe can help make that transition peaceful, organized, and representative of the people’s will.
