Movement 2025: Reza Pahlavi’s Leadership and the Growing Support for Democracy
Dr. Karim Sadjadpour, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
“Iran’s internal tensions are at an all-time high. The youth and women are demanding reform, but the regime’s survival depends on suppressing dissent. A peaceful transition is possible if external pressures favor reform and internal unity prevails.”
Dr. Haleh Esfandiari, Middle East Scholar
“Iran’s rich cultural and social fabric offers a foundation for a democratic future. The challenge lies in overcoming decades of repression, but the resilience of its people suggests hope.”
General John Allen, Former U.S. Marine Corps Commander
“Any intervention in Iran must be carefully considered; supporting internal reform movements through diplomatic and economic means is preferable to military action.”
