Declaration of Solidarity by the Patriotic Doctors of Iran
We, the physicians, healthcare professionals and health workers of the Patriotic Doctors of Iran, as part of an enlightened and responsible Iranian society, declare our firm and solidary support for the nationwide call by Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi.
This call reflects the longing of a nation that, after decades of oppression, injustice and mismanagement, demands fundamental change, a transition away from this corrupt system and a turn towards a free and humane future based on the dignity of every human being and citizen.
As patriots who for years have witnessed the collapse of the health system, the deep economic crisis, the spread of poverty, unemployment and insecurity of livelihood, widespread social ills, the forced emigration of the elite and the deterioration of society’s mental and physical health, we are firmly convinced that the causes of these crises are structural and political. Without fundamental change of the ruling mullah system, neither the health of the country nor its economy nor social stability can be restored.
We therefore consider it our national, ethical and moral responsibility to stand by Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. He pursues a national, inclusive approach that transcends any ideology and emphasises the preservation of Iran’s territorial integrity, the separation of religion and politics (secular democracy), respect for human rights conventions, the creation of social justice, economic reconstruction and democratic governance based on popular vote.
We call on all our compatriots to join this nationwide movement together on Thursday and Friday of this week (8 and 9 January 2026), each day at 8 p.m., whether on the streets or from home, and to express their support for this national path and for Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi as a symbol of solidarity, hope and the building of a future for Iran. We are convinced that this united show of solidarity is a fundamental step towards national organisation, the continuation of targeted protests and progress towards freedom, economic prosperity and the sovereignty of the people over their own destiny.

In solidarity with the Iranian people and in support of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi
