Reza Pahlavi's Message on the Collapse of the National Currency, August 23, 2026

The price of the U.S. dollar crossed the 2,000,000-rial mark today. The dollar is now worth 28,571 times more than it was when the Islamic Republic came to power.

Nearly five decades of corruption, mismanagement, and incompetence under the Islamic Republic have brought poverty, economic decline, and isolation to the Iranian people.

Five decades of experience have made one thing clear: reform within the Islamic Republic is impossible.

Today, the Islamic Republic is driving Iran toward the edge of a cliff at ever-increasing speed.

It is now the duty of every Iranian, including government employees and members of the country’s civil service, to do everything possible to obstruct the regime’s destructive actions and weaken its ability to continue them, helping create the conditions for its removal and for saving Iran.
