Iran’s streets are ablaze with protests that began late last month over the rial’s freefall, now trading at over 1.4 million to the dollar, a stark symbol of the regime’s economic failures. Security forces have responded with lethal force, killing more than 500 demonstrators and arresting thousands, according to human rights groups like Amnesty International. Amid this chaos, exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has emerged as a vocal advocate for change, positioning himself as a potential guide for a post-regime Iran.
Pahlavi, son of the last shah deposed in the 1979 revolution, has spent nearly five decades outside his homeland. In a recent CBS News interview, he described his role as “a bridge and not the destination,” responding to chants of his name during the uprisings.
He expressed readiness to sacrifice everything, saying, “How could I not possibly be prepared to die for them? To die for liberty, to die for saving our nation? I’m prepared to do that.”
This is his fight. It’s the Iranian people’s fight. One can argue that other interested parties in the Middle East, from Saudi Arabia to Israel, might view it as their fight. But for America First patriots, getting involved in another fight in the quagmire should be avoided at all costs. We can cheer for the prince and his people but we don’t want to participate.
The prince sees the current unrest as different from past demonstrations. “Today, the ask is not just for reform, or for that matter, an economic demand. It is now putting an end to this regime,” he stated. “This is really the revolution in its true sense of the word.” He accused the ayatollahs of sustaining power through repression and deceptive negotiations, urging swift action to avoid more bloodshed.
Pahlavi directly appealed to President Trump, praising him as a “game-changer” who means what he says and says what he means. “We need action to be taken,” the prince said, pushing for U.S. support to help the regime “finally collapses.” He has communicated with the administration, though details remain private, and noted Trump’s solidarity with the Iranian people means backing their demand for the regime’s removal.
Trump has signaled openness to tough measures. After Iranian officials reached out for talks, he warned of hitting them “very hard where it hurts,” without committing to ground troops. White House statements confirm all options, including airstrikes, are on the table. However, reports indicate Trump has declined a meeting with Pahlavi for now, deeming it inappropriate amid the volatility.
The regime’s grip appears weaker than ever, fueled by years of sanctions, mismanagement, and proxy wars that drain resources. Iran’s backing of groups like Hezbollah and Hamas has isolated it further, while its nuclear ambitions threaten global stability. Some observers whisper that lingering influences from previous administrations—those soft on Tehran—emboldened the mullahs, allowing corruption and terror networks to flourish unchecked.
For Iran’s persecuted minorities, including Christians facing imprisonment for their faith, regime change could open doors to true freedom. Biblical accounts of ancient Persia remind us of a land once known for tolerance under leaders like Cyrus, who freed captives and respected beliefs—a far cry from today’s theocracy.
If the U.S. acts decisively, as Pahlavi advocates, it could tip the scales toward a democratic Iran, ending decades of oppression and reducing threats to allies like Israel. The protesters’ courage demands no less; their fight against tyranny echoes timeless calls for justice and liberty.
But this is still not our fight. For patriotic Americans, even those opposed to the Ayatollah’s regime, direct intervention is a bridge too far. We can cheer for and even pray for the protesters and hope that this leads to changes in the Middle East country, but committing any form of direct engagement does not align with the America First stance.
Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
There are things we could do without putting boots on the ground. Completely isolate the government until if falls.
If it wasn’t for the French navy, we would not have won our revolution defeating British oppression.
Thanks Captain. How many times are you going to post this?
How about NOT licking Israel’s boots? The whole idea of regime change is anti-thetical to America. The “protests” in Iran are a classic example of “outside agitation” and craps on the very concept of sovereignty. If Iran is attacked, Trump and Nutty Yahoo are ready to “show the world” just how violent and rogue the Iranian regime is, when ANY nation of earth would respond violently to protect itself! But remember, in Trump and America’s way of thinking, ONLY Israel has a “right to self-defense” and the rest of the world has to deal with it! When American personnel and military infrastructure start to be attacked, Trump and the warmongers will use this to further enflame the war rhetoric! Trump will NOT survive this, and ANY political affiliation of Trump will be forever banished. Mark my word!
As our own 13% has proven, you can’t gift freedom. If they don’t earn it themselves, it means nothing to them.
Trump would not be “diverging from America First”, a free democratic Iran is in the U.S. best interest.
The people wanting freedom (more of a secular country with choices of religions) can fix it . We shouldn’t interfer or any other country as it may make things worse.
