Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting Iran’s Crown Prince @PahlaviReza I stand with the Iranian people in their aspiration for freedom, democracy and human dignity. They deserve the right to choose their own future, free from repression and fear. Europe must stand firmly with those seeking a free and democratic Iran. 🇪🇺

Prince Reza Pahlavi’s Opening Remarks at the European Parliament Press Conference – Nov 4, 2026 "Thank you, Mr. Bellamy, for your kind introduction, for hosting us today, and above all for your principled support for the people of Iran. I am here today with a simple message to Europe: The Islamic Republic is weaker than ever. It will fall. The question is how soon, and whether Europe will stand with the Iranian people or continue to appease this Regime. In January, millions of courageous Iranians, from every province and every walk of life, rose up against the Islamic Republic. More than 40,000 Iranians gave their lives for freedom. Their courage has shaken this regime to its foundations. It is divided and frightened and under the cover of global silence and promises of appeasement, it is taking its revenge on the people of Iran. It has discovered how to murder its own people without making international headlines: by executing them one or two at a time. Just two more young men, protesters from the January uprising, were executed yesterday. Since January, more than 70 political prisoners have reportedly been executed. More than 100 protesters face the threat of execution today. today. These are hardly even executions. They are state-sponsored murder without basic due process - an attempt to terrorise an entire nation into silence. But let me be clear: this regime is not just a threat to Iranians. It is a threat to Europe and to the world. It has supported Putin's brutal war against Ukraine and the destabilization of Europe. It has plotted attacks on European soil and sought to undermine your democracies. It has declared - just a few days ago - your armed forces legitimate targets. For 47 years, it has exported terrorism, violence and instability. And for 47 years, the international community has tried to negotiate with it. For 47 years, the international community has failed. Because the Islamic Republic is not a conventional state that values the welfare of its people. It is a revolutionary jihadist movement that has occupied Iran and turned the country into a headquarters for global terrorism. There can be no lasting peace or stability in the Middle East while this regime remains in power. It must go, not just for the people of Iran but also for the interests of Europe. We are preparing to build a free, stable and prosperous Iran, which will be a partner in trade and security with Europe. To do so, we have built a broad, unified coalition of the Iranian opposition from left to right, republican and monarchist. I am not here to be the destination, but the bridge to the destination which must be a lasting democracy. The four principles that unite us are simple: Iran’s territorial integrity The protection of individual liberties and equality of all citizens; The Separation of religion and state; and The Iranian people's right to determine the future democratic form of their government. Anyone who believes in these principles has room under this tent. But the Iranian people also need the support of the democratic world. And today I am calling on the European Union to take four immediate steps. Because as Mr. Bellamy said, Europe should do something and Europe can do something. First, cut off the regime's networks in Europe. Expel regime operatives and diplomats abusing their positions. Investigate and act against those facilitating intimidation, money laundering, sanctions evasion and illicit financial activities. Second, intensify economic and financial pressure. Apply the same determination you have shown towards PutinPutin. Expose hidden assets and front companies. Freeze illicit wealth. Close the financial networks that sustain the regime and its Revolutionary Guards. Third, and most urgently, help keep the Iranian people connected to the world. In January, the regime shut down the internet to hide its atrocities from the world and prevent Iranians from communicating with one another. When the regime cuts the internet, it is preparing to cut down its people. Europe has the technological capability, financial resources and diplomatic influence to help. I am calling on the European Parliament, Commission and member states to work with technology companies and partners to provide secure, resilient internet access, support independent communications, and ensure that the regime can never again plunge an entire nation into darkness. Fourth, stand publicly and unequivocally with the Iranian people and their democratic aspirations. Move beyond statements of concern. Join a strong cross-party parliamentary coalition in Europe to support the democratic opposition and prepare to engage with a transitional government when the moment comes. Behind all these discussions of geopolitics, sanctions and diplomacy are real human lives. Young men and women who have risked everything for the simple right to live in freedom. Today, I want you to hear directly from one of them. During the January uprising, Danial Eyvazi was shot by the regime's security forces. He survived to tell the story that the Islamic Republic tried to silence. Danial is here today not just to share a personal experience, but to speak for thousands who can no longer speak for themselves please listen carefully. Because this is what is at stake. This is why Europe must act. Please welcome Danial."

Thank you, @EPPGroup and @fxbellamy, for standing firmly with the Iranian people. The destinies of Iran and Europe are intertwined. The fall of the Islamic Republic would liberate the Iranian people and remove a profound threat to Europe’s security and freedom. Today, survivors and families of those murdered in the January massacres brought the human cost of this regime directly to the European Parliament. Europe has heard their testimony. Now it must act: end appeasement, intensify pressure on the regime, help keep Iranians connected and support their struggle for freedom.

What happens in Iran does not stop at its borders. It matters to all of Europe. Today at the European Parliament, Iranian opposition leader @PahlaviReza and EPP Group Vice-Chair @fxbellamy MEP held a press briefing. They were joined by family members of victims of the January massacres. Discussions focused on the threat posed by the Iranian regime to Europe and the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom and democracy. As MEP @fxbellamy stressed: “The fall of the mullahs’ regime would be a liberation for the Iranian people and a major turning point for Europe’s security and freedom. The destinies of Iran and Europe are intertwined.” The future of Iran matters, and Europe cannot look away.

Le régime islamiste iranien persécute ses propres citoyens ; mais il menace aussi directement nos pays. Notre avenir est lié à la lutte si courageuse du peuple iranien pour retrouver sa liberté. J’ai eu l’honneur d’accueillir aujourd’hui le prince Reza Pahlavi au Parlement européen, pour redire à ses côtés notre soutien absolu au combat des Iraniens contre ce totalitarisme meurtrier, et définir des pistes d’action concrètes. L’Iran sera libre un jour ; et l’Europe peut et doit soutenir cette aspiration essentielle.
