The weight of 47 years of tyranny is finally lifting, and our joy is deafening. To the non-Iranians watching us sing and dance in the streets: this isn't just our happiness. This is a tribute. The brave men and women who fought this oppressive regime left us with a mission. They told us to celebrate, not mourn, if they fell. So today, we don't just dance for ourselves. We dance with the spirit of the fallen. We sing with their voices. We celebrate extra hard because every step we take in freedom is a step they paid for. We did it, and we are celebrating exactly the way they asked us to.

The first page of a new history is being written today. The rebirth of a free, secular, and democratic Iran is finally here, and it’s a chapter we proudly share with our allies: the United States and Israel. Through the unimaginable sacrifice of the Iranian people, a beautiful, peaceful future has dawned. I can already see the Lion and Sun flying alongside the Stars and Stripes and the Star of David in Azadi Square. Here’s to a bond that will last generations. We are building a new Iran, and we will make the world proud.

https://x.com/i/status/2027409016129810480 There is this video that Prince Reza Pahlavi has released with this group of people with him and I wanted to know if anyone could tell me who any of them are? I did ask grok who said "These folks in the video with Reza Pahlavi are Iranian diaspora activists and representatives from diverse ethnic, linguistic, and religious backgrounds (Kurds, Baloch, Azerbaijanis, Christians, Jews, etc.). They're gathered to highlight national unity for a free, democratic Iran under the Lion & Sun flag, ending discrimination. No secret cabal—just everyday Iranians showing solidarity against the regime. Long live Iran!" Which was very nice of Grok to throw in the Javid Iran there. I tried to probe for more but grok said "The video doesn't name the individuals or provide bios—the focus is collective unity, not spotlights. They're diaspora activists representing Iran's ethnic/religious mosaic (e.g., Kurds, Baloch, Azerbaijanis, Christians, Jews, others) gathered to affirm one indivisible nation under law and the Lion & Sun flag. No public IDs or details released; it's symbolic of broad opposition solidarity against division." Which is great but I still want to know because I am curious and they look like interesting people.
