In war, people often suffer their worst blow when they celebrate too early. They think they have won, only to be caught off guard by a surprise attack and defeated. History has seen it happen again and again. This is no time to celebrate. We have not won yet. This is the time for the people of Iran to take power, to take our country back before the Islamic Republic strikes and spills more blood through executions and worse. Either we act now, or we may spend the rest of our lives mourning our young people and the lives we should have had. Long live Iran. #جاویدشاه
