🚨🚨🚨 Sent from Iran 🚨🚨🚨 'Greetings, brother, I barely managed to get temporary internet access. It feels like the end of the world here. To us, victory is in the air. To them, it is the stench of their own downfall, and they know it. I am not exaggerating. I have seen this with my own eyes. The videos you manage to see, when they manage to get through at all, show maybe twenty percent of what is happening. There is no way to fit all these people into a frame. The crowds number in the millions, and their coordination is astonishing. This morning I went to the corner shop to buy a few things for home. I asked how late they would stay open. The shopkeeper said, 'Three o'clock. If we don't close, we're betraying the people.' Everyone here talks about the Shah. Everyone is full of energy. Tell the Shah that since word came out that he was preparing to return to Iran, the people have had a hundred times more energy. No one says 'if it happens' anymore. Everyone knows it is coming. They are fighting with everything they have to bring it about sooner. I will say it again: over the past few nights, I have heard no chants but 'Pahlavi will return,' 'Javid Shah,' and 'Death to Khamenei.' The people want the Shah in their hearts. Don't let anyone put on airs and pretend the people want something other than the Shah. People stand together as if they had spent thirty years preparing for these days. If everything could be shown, this would be, by a wide margin, the most magnificent revolution in the history of the world, not only of Iran. I swear on this soil that I am not exaggerating. Tell Iranians abroad that we have seen your gatherings and are proud of you. Tell them we kiss their hands. Tell them we know their hearts are with us, and that ours are with them. Tell them what they are doing is no less important than our own struggle in the streets. A revolution is a team effort. Each of us must do our part. We cannot win without you, so hold your heads high and keep going. Victory for Iran and the world is near. See you soon.' Long live Iran. Forever #جاویدشاه
