The large rallies of Iranians abroad have provided hope and strength to compatriots in Iran. In the current difficult circumstances, the responsibility of garnering international support for our compatriots is heavier than ever.

Dear Iranians abroad,

Your magnificent and grand rallies in recent days, across the corners of the world, from Australia to all over Europe, Canada, and the United States, have given strength and hope to our brave compatriots in the occupied homeland. Your voice is the voice of the people of Iran, and I thank you.

Today, as the Islamic Republic has severely increased the cost of people's presence in the streets of Iran through ruthless killings and martial law, your responsibility in garnering international support for our compatriots is heavier. The importance of your role is greater than ever. The continuation of your activities is necessary and essential: broader, more coordinated, more cohesive, and more targeted.

As I announced at the recent press conference in Washington, we have six specific demands from the international community at this stage. All activities of Iranians abroad, from gatherings and sit-ins to marches, discussions, and correspondence with decision-makers and lawmakers, and to informing the media and online networks, must focus on these six demands:

First: Protecting the people of Iran by weakening the regime's repression machine, especially by targeting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, its commanders, command structure, and infrastructure.

Second: Maximum economic pressure by blocking the regime's assets worldwide and targeting its secret oil tanker network, known as the "Ghost Fleet."

Third: Providing free internet for Iran through Starlink and other secure communication tools and disabling the regime's ability to cut off the internet.

Fourth: Expelling the regime's diplomats and prosecuting criminals against humanity.

Fifth: Immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners.

And sixth: Preparing for a democratic transition in Iran and recognizing a legitimate transitional government.

I urge all of you to remain united under the flag of the Lion and Sun of Iran; a flag for which tens of thousands of brave Iranians have sacrificed their lives to raise it again. Set aside personal differences and avoid parallel efforts and separate programs in one city. Align and coordinate your efforts to be more impactful. Remember that you are, in the eyes of the world, representatives of the great nation of Iran; therefore, your behavior must be dignified, civilized, and in line with Iranian ethics and culture.

My team and I are closely monitoring your coordinated activities. Soon, programs related to the "International Day of Action and Solidarity with the National Revolution of Iran" will be announced.

The eyes of our honorable compatriots in Iran, who are under the bondage of the occupying regime of the Islamic Republic, are upon us. Let us join hands to end their suffering sooner and achieve the freedom and prosperity they deserve. That day is closer than ever.

Long live Iran!
