Demand to hand over power to the Crown Prince
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini came to power in Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. He was the Supreme Leader for 10 years from 1979 to 1989. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who became the Supreme Leader after him, has been in power for 37 years since 1989.
Iran today is facing serious challenges like economic crisis, high inflation, international sanctions, unemployment, currency decline and continuous mass movements. After 47 years, people angry with the current economic crisis and strict religious rule now want change.
For this reason, demands are being raised to hand over power to Crown Prince Raza Pahlavi. Protesters consider him a secular and democratic alternative. Youth and Gen Z feel that Pahlavi’s return can bring economic stability, global acceptance and personal freedom to Iran.
Raza Pahlavi is preparing to return to the country Raza Pahlavi had said on Saturday that he would return to the country and join the ongoing protests. 65 year old Reza Pahlavi has been living in exile in America for almost 50 years. On Saturday morning he said that he was preparing to return to his country.
In a post on social media, Reza Pahlavi wrote – I am also preparing to return to my country so that I can stand with you all, among the great people of Iran, at the time of victory of our national revolution. I am confident that that day is very close now.
Resentment among common people increased due to inflation in Iran
GenZ is in anger across the country. The reason for this has been economic crisis. The Iranian currency rial fell to about 1.45 million per US dollar in December 2025, an all-time low.
The value of the rial has almost halved since the beginning of the year. Inflation has reached its peak here. The prices of food items have increased by 72% and the prices of medicines have increased by 50%.
Apart from this, the government’s proposal to increase taxes by 62% in the budget of 2026 has created huge resentment among the common people.
