Israel National News reports: “Reza Pahlavi, Crown Prince of Iran, on Thursday issued a Norooz message to the international community entitled: ‘A Norooz Message to the World: Imagine a New Iran’.

The address to the international community comes in addition to Pahlavi’s annual Norooz Address to the people of Iran.

In his remarks, Pahlavi outlined his view for a new Iran and extended a hand of friendship to Israel and to Iran’s other regional neighbors.

‘Today, as Iranians celebrate Norooz—the ancient Iranian New Year—we reflect on renewal, hope, and the promise of a brighter future. Norooz means ‘new day, symbolizing our people’s timeless quest for freedom, peace, and prosperity,’ he said.

‘For the past forty-six years, unable to celebrate Norooz in my homeland, I have marked this occasion by addressing my compatriots in Iran. Today however, given the historic opportunity ahead of not just Iran but of humanity, I am taking this opportunity to speak to all of you across the world for the first time on this special day to ask you to imagine an even greater renewal: a world without the Islamic Republic.’…”
