THE OLDEST
NATION
NEEDS YOU
50,000+ massacred. The worst mass killing of civilians in decades.
The Islamic Republic has committed one of the most horrific Crimes Against Humanity in modern history—massacring over 50,000+ unarmed civilians. Under the UN's Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine, the international community has a moral and legal obligation to protect civilians when their government becomes the perpetrator. The West helped liberate Germany, Japan, Poland, and South Africa. Will you abandon 85 million Iranians now?
Iran Before The Occupation
From 1960 to 1978, Iran was a rapidly modernizing nation with women's rights, world-class tourism, a booming economy, and deep ties with the West. Then came 1979.

The answer of an occupier, not a leader returning home
"I don't want to rule... I will be just a spiritual guide."

These are not just statistics
This is the story of millions of destroyed lives, crushed dreams, and a nation in chains.
The West Did Not Say "Internal Matter"
Every time tyranny threatened a people, the free world faced a choice: stand by or take action. History remembers those who acted.
Nazi Germany
1941-1945The Allies committed their full military, economic, and industrial capacity to defeat Nazism. Churchill declared: "We are resolved to destroy Hitler and every vestige of the Nazi regime... We shall fight him by land, sea, and air, until we have rid the earth of his shadow and liberated its people from his yoke."
"We have but one aim and one single irrevocable purpose. We are resolved to destroy Hitler."
— Winston Churchill, 1941
Germany liberated. German leaders later called the Allied invasion "liberation."
Poland
1981-1989President Reagan declared Solidarity Day, launched "Let Poland Be Poland" broadcast to 185 million viewers, and the CIA provided $20 million in covert support. Thatcher visited Gdansk in 1988—10,000 Poles chanted "Down with communism."
"Is man born to be free, or slave? Let Poland be Poland."
— Ronald Reagan, 1982
Solidarity won 99 of 100 Senate seats in 1989. Communism fell across Eastern Europe.
South Africa
1962-1994The UN condemned apartheid and imposed sanctions. In 1986, the US Congress overrode Reagan's veto to pass the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act. Senator Lugar declared: "We are against tyranny, and tyranny is in South Africa!"
"We call on the international community to continue the campaign to isolate the apartheid regime."
— Nelson Mandela, 1990
Mandela released 1990. First democratic elections 1994. Mandela: sanctions helped "beyond doubt."
Kosovo
1999When Serbian forces committed ethnic cleansing, NATO launched 78 days of air strikes—even without UN approval (Russia would have vetoed). Over 9,700 strike sorties destroyed military infrastructure.
The West acted despite lacking UN authorization because lives were at stake.
— NATO Historical Record
848,000 refugees returned. Kosovo eventually gained independence.
Iran Today
50,000+ murdered. Mass graves. 744+ hours of internet blackout. Foreign militias killing civilians. And the West issues... statements.
The Shah Saved America's
Largest Defense Contractor
In 1974, when Grumman Corporation faced bankruptcy, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi—a true ally of the United States—stepped in and saved the company. Today, we ask America to remember this visionary investment and alliance.
$75 Million Emergency Loan
When Congress blocked F-14 financing, Bank Melli Iran loaned Grumman $75 million—worth hundreds of millions in today's dollars—saving the company from bankruptcy.
80 F-14 Tomcat Orders
The Shah ordered 80 F-14 Tomcats for $2 billion—the largest foreign military sale in U.S. history at the time—worth tens of billions in today's money.
Saved the F-14 Program
The Shah's order didn't just save Grumman—it saved the entire F-14 program for the U.S. Navy, ensuring American air superiority for decades.
The B-2 Spirit: Built by the Company Shah of Iran Saved
Grumman merged with Northrop in 1994 to form Northrop Grumman—now America's largest defense contractor. President Donald J. Trump has spoken proudly of their B-2 Spirit stealth bombers.
The same bombers that eliminated the Islamic Republic's nuclear threat were built by the company the Shah of Iran saved in 1974.
The Shah's visionary investment in American defense technology came full circle—protecting both nations from the regime that overthrew him.
The Iranian People ≠ The Islamic Regime
When you hear "Iran," remember this:
- The Iranian people never wanted nuclear weapons—the Islamic Republic did.
- The Iranian people have been massacred by this regime—50,000+ killed in recent protests.
- The Iranian people want freedom, democracy, and friendship with America.
- When B-2s struck the regime's nuclear sites, they struck the regime—not the Iranian people.
We are not your enemy. The Islamic Republic is.
Remember the Shah's Visionary Investment and Alliance
In 1974, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi saved America's largest military contractor from bankruptcy. His visionary investment ensured American air superiority for generations. All we ask in return:
- 1Recognize Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi as the legitimate leader of Iran
- 2Recognize his government-in-exile as the legitimate government of the Iranian people
- 3Help eliminate the IRGC and Islamic Republic—our common enemy
- 4Let the Iranian people take back their country and institutions
- 5Help bring Prince Reza Pahlavi back to Iran
The company the Shah saved built the tools to free us. Now we ask America to use them.

Iran Is Under Foreign Military Control
The Islamic Republic cannot trust Iranians to kill Iranians. So they import foreign militias—Lebanese, Iraqi, Afghan, Pakistani forces—to massacre their own people.
Lebanese Hezbollah
Reports of 1,500-9,500 fighters assisting crackdowns. Videos show Arabic-speaking forces beating protesters.
Iraqi PMF Militias
Nearly 5,000 fighters crossed into Iran in January 2026. Deployed to Kurdish regions where they "do not speak Persian during killings."
Afghan Fatemiyoun
10,000-20,000 fighters trained by IRGC. Known for war crimes in Syria. Now deployed against Iranian protesters.
Pakistani Zeinabiyoun
2,500-4,000 fighters. Designated terrorist organization by both US and Pakistan. Active in protest suppression.
Why Foreign Forces?
Iranian security forces are showing defection. A soldier named Javid Khales was sentenced to death for refusing to shoot protesters. When your own army won't kill your people, you import mercenaries who will.
"Their function would be the same: to fire on Iranians when other Iranians won't."
Evidence of Defection
- IRGC issued warnings against "defiance, desertion, or disobedience" (later deleted)
- Soldier sentenced to death for refusing to fire on protesters
- Videos of IRGC members removing insignia and joining protesters
- Prince Pahlavi reports 20,000+ military contacts seeking defection
The Last Great Untapped Market
A free Iran isn't just morally right—it's economically transformative. Iran represents the largest closed market in the world, waiting to open for business.
85 Million Consumers
Iran has the largest untapped consumer market in the Middle East. 85 million people—well-educated, tech-savvy, Western-oriented—waiting to buy your products.
Massive Infrastructure Needs
Roads, bridges, airports, telecom, energy—everything needs rebuilding. Trillions of dollars in contracts for construction firms, tech companies, and manufacturers.
Strategic Location
Iran sits at the crossroads of Asia and Europe. A free Iran means a new Silk Road, energy pipelines, and trade routes that bypass hostile powers.
Oil & Gas Reserves
World's 4th largest oil reserves, 2nd largest gas reserves. A free Iran could help Europe break dependency on Russian energy—transforming global politics.
What We Had Before
Level The Playing Field
Iranians are willing to fight and die for their freedom. They are not asking for ground troops. They are asking for one thing: targeted strikes on IRGC command and control centers.
The IRGC—not the Iranian people—is the enemy. Their command centers, intelligence headquarters, and militia coordination points are what enable the mass murder of protesters. Disable these, and the Iranian people can liberate themselves.
What Iranians Are Asking For
Targeted Strikes on IRGC Command Centers
Precision strikes on IRGC headquarters, intelligence centers, and militia coordination points. Not civilian infrastructure. Not cities. Just the command apparatus that enables mass murder.
Disable the Killing Machine
Without centralized command, the IRGC cannot coordinate nationwide crackdowns. Local units—many of whom don't want to kill their own people—would be unable to execute orders for mass violence.
Let Iranians Finish the Job
With the IRGC command structure disabled, Iranians inside the country—including the 10,000+ government members in contact with Prince Pahlavi—can take over institutions and secure a peaceful transition.
This is not unprecedented. NATO struck Serbian command centers in Kosovo without UN approval. The coalition disabled Iraqi command infrastructure in 1991. When the command structure falls, the regime falls.
