My dear compatriots, Workers, engineers, and industrialists of Iran, As winter approaches, our country’s factories and industries once again face severe shortages of natural gas and energy, a crisis caused not by a lack of resources, but by the Islamic Republic’s incompetence and plunder of our national wealth. Throughout these difficult days, amid war and crisis, you have kept Iran’s factories running. With electricity available only a few days each week, you continued production. As the rial lost value by the day, you still secured the raw materials and essential components needed to carry on. While you struggled to sustain production, billions of dollars in oil revenue were handed to intermediaries who never returned the money. Instead of investing our limited national resources in infrastructure and meeting the needs of the Iranian people, the Islamic Republic spent them on foreign mercenaries and its domestic forces of repression. Now, having plundered the nation’s wealth, the regime comes to you on the eve of winter and says there is no gas. This crisis is not Iran’s destiny. It is the consequence of decisions made by plunderers who have treated the nation’s wealth as their personal property, and they must be held accountable to the Iranian people. I want you to know that your hard work and hardship have not gone unnoticed. We will build the Iran of tomorrow with your knowledge, experience, and capable hands, an Iran in which oil revenues are transparent and auditable; national wealth serves production, public welfare, and the country’s prosperity; and a reliable energy supply for homes and factories is among the nation’s highest priorities. A difficult winter lies ahead. But you, who have kept the flame of production alive through the hardest of times, will also play a decisive role in rebuilding and bringing prosperity to a free Iran, an Iran where the fruits of your labor will build a better future for you and your children, rather than serve the interests of those in power. Long live Iran, Reza Pahlavi
