Iranian Woman Does NOT Support "Crown Prince" Reza Pahlavi

Hey, guys, Derrick Brose here with the Conscious Resistance Network. And as you know, I am in Dallas, Texas, for CPAC 2026. And one of the things I've been documenting is that there are a lot of Iranian people, Iranian Americans and Iranians who are in Dallas for the event, many of them who are very supportive of Donald Trump, who are cheering and supporting and saying, thank you, Trump. Thank you, Bibi, thank you for, you know, the bombing campaign. Because they don't like the current leadership of Iran, as we know, many people don't, including Iranians in Iran. And they are, yeah, they are supportive. They are wanting more action. They're wanting the US to remove the current leadership. But what's interesting is a lot of them have been there holding these little sort of mini rallies inside the event. I'll show you guys some footage chanting, democracy for Iran. Thank you, Trump. And they're also in support of the son of the Shah of Iran, who, as you guys know, if you saw my debate with Naomi Wolf, if you just know history, operation Ajax. The US government, CIA and the UK MI6 went into Iran and they overthrew the leader in 1953 and then helped the Shah rise to really strong power. And he ruled until the 1979 revolution, which led to the current leadership. And so he eventually left the country, but he had sons. And one of his son is alive and is going to be speaking at CPAC tomorrow, Saturday. And so there are a lot of Iranians there in support of him who want him to kind of step into the leadership. They're even calling him the Crown Prince in exile. He hasn't been in Iran. I don't think most of his life, believe he's been in the United States. And so it's interesting because for me, I'm skeptical of that narrative, wondering if he is a Western puppet. And it's, you know, I don't want to say these protests, these rallies at CPAC were not organic. I'm certain that there are many Iranians who do feel this way. But the term astroturfed comes to mind, which is just a term, you know, whenever it's like fake grass, fake grassroots, you know, where movements come in again, they capture genuine sentiment, but at the same time, they push narratives. And it just seems convenient to me to have all Iranians there cheering in front of this largely conservative CPAC audience, you know, getting the message across. The Iranian people want Trump to continue to be bombing and want Trump to be there and to be involved. So, anyways, as I was filming one of these Scenes A woman who stopped me and said, hey, are you with the media? And I said, yes, I am. She's an Iranian woman and she wanted to talk to me. And she is with the Iranian American community of North Texas, as you can see here by her card. And her name is Homeira Hisami. I apologize if I mispronounced it. We are now following each other on Twitter and I talked to her and got her opinion about why she doesn't support the Shah and what she thinks should happen in Iran, as well as a few other questions I asked her. So I'm sharing this interview with you guys so you can sort of have some more background. Again, I don't claim to speak for the Iranian people. All I've ever said is I don't think it's a good idea for the US government to get involved. And I don't support them putting the Shah's son or. Or any other puppet leaders in there. I think Iran's destiny should be determined by the Iranian people. And that is what Ms. Assami believes as well. So please check out the interview, guys, and thank you for the support. I will be at CPAC for one more day tomorrow and if you like what I'm doing, follow, like subscribe and support@the consciousresistance.com thank you.

Can you tell me your name? And you're Iranian?

Yes, I'm Iranian. American.

Running American. How long have you been in the us?

Long time.

Long time. Okay. And over here there are people chanting and cheering for the US support of involvement in Iran and for the Shah's son. Can you tell me how you feel about that?

I believe that the Iranian people have been fighting the regime and actually they have been fighting the Shah's regime. His father. His father in 1979. And it was a very popular uprising that overthrow the Shah. So. And they have continued their fight to overthrow the current regime. They won a true democracy. So Reza Pahlavi has nothing to do with the Iranian revolution that is taking place inside Iran.

And it's also true that his father was installed in 1953 with the help of the US and the UK and what they call Operation Ajax.

That's correct. There was a coup that reinstated his father. And after that he became a true dictator. He banned all the political parties and he consolidated all the power in himself. And that's why people revolted against him.

If you wanted to share a message to Americans who are trying to understand what's going on in Iran and whether or not the US should be involved, what would you say?

I would say that the Iranian people have an organized resistance, so we should focus on that that is capable of overthrowing the regime. They have been active on the ground for years. That is called the MEK Affiliated Resistance Units. They are active and they are attacking the passage places and IRGC and confronting the regime. So we should put our focus on that one. There is an alternative, the National Council of Resistance of Iran, with a clear platform for Iran's future that has been endorsed by thousands of parliamentarians all over the world.

So do you, do you, in the effort to support that resistance, do you think the US should be bombing different parts of Iran like they bombed hospitals and schools and desalinization plants? And do you think that's helpful or is that not helpful?

I think the situation that we are right now is because of Iran's nuclear ambition and nuclear program. And that program was revealed by the main Iranian opposition, the MEK network inside the country, in 2002. And Mrs. Mariam Rajavi, the leader of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, warned the world that if we do not do anything with Iran's nuclear ambition, the west is going to end up the war with the Iranian regime. And that was not just recently, not just last year, that was like more than two decades ago. So the situation that we are right now is a result of a continuation of appeasement policy and not confronting Iran's regime to contain and curtail its nuclear program.

What would you say to Americans who are supportive of the Iranian people, but who are skeptical of what they're hearing from their own government because of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and things where the American people have, we now know, have been lied to in order to start more wars. So people who say, look, I support the Iranian people, but I don't trust the government to go, you know, be involved, and I don't trust that it's going to help the Iranian people. How do you, what would you say to that?

Yeah, I would say that the ultimate solution would be to rely on the Iranian people and their organized resistance to topple the regime. As long as this regime is in power, we're going to continue to see the meddling in the regions, meddling in everywhere, terrorism. And so we have to topple this regime. But that overthrowing of this regime is the responsibility of the Iranian people under organized resistance, which they are actively doing that.

So the US should just be in a supportive role, not trying to install their own supportive leader like the Shahsa.

Of course, I mean, President Trump has said it himself that the Iranian people will choose their own leader. And I think that would be the ultimate solution to have the power to the Iranian people and their organized resistance to take care of the regime and will bring a democracy and freedom to Iran.

One last question. As an Iranian American, do you think that it is the job of the US to government or military to spend billions of dollars to protect Israel? Do you support that?

My focus is on the Iranian people and their fight for democracy and freedom.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.
