Reza Pahlavi, the crown prince of Iran, says at least 50,000 military and government officials have registered for a secure opposition platform aimed at overthrowing the Islamic Republic and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Pahlavi, who lives in exile in the United States, says there is a separate website for regular citizens interested in participating in the national opposition.

“Every week we have additional numbers coming. Clearly we have to analyze the data, it’s an arduous process — it will take some time — but the signals are quite strong. We have received [a] tremendous […] response, and of course we are giving top priority to key elements within those designated segments that I mentioned,” he says.
