… their side. As they risk their lives to end this regime’s 46 year reign of chaos and terror, they send me with a responsibility and a message: to seek the relationship Iran once had with America that brought peace and prosperity to the Middle East. I have the plan for stable transition for Iran and the support of my people to get it done. With your leadership of the free world, we can leave a legacy of lasting peace.

هم‌میهنانم،

امروز می‌خواهم تصویر روشن‌تری از آنچه برای به زیر کشیدن این رژیم لازم و ضروری است، با شما در میان بگذارم. سخن من به ویژه با مردم تهران است که با شجاعت خود، دور تازه خیزش ملی را آغاز کردند.

جمهوری اسلامی می‌کوشد از شکل‌گیری تجمعات در تهران جلوگیری کند؛ زیرا به‌خوبی… pic.twitter.com/VpUtl4YmzI

Translated from Persian

My fellow compatriots,

Today, I want to share with you a clearer picture of what is necessary and essential to bring down this regime. My words are especially addressed to the people of Tehran, who with their courage have initiated this new wave of the national uprising.

The Islamic Republic is striving to prevent the formation of gatherings in Tehran; because it well knows that the seizure of the streets of Tehran and other major cities will seriously accelerate its downfall.

To overcome the regime's repression, one path lies ahead of us: the simultaneous and massive presence of people throughout the city, and at the same time, creating blockades on key axes and main roads.

To achieve this, first we must all overcome our fear and realize that if we seize the streets, the regime will quickly lose its ability and will to repress.

The solution is to go, in the form of small and cohesive groups of friends and family members, to the nearest street of your residence, find each other, and then hand in hand move toward the central streets of the city.

I confidently say that with the formation of a massive crowd of millions, the regime's repressive forces will not have the ability to stand firm. Many of them will retreat, and some will even join the people.

The seizure of the streets of Tehran and major cities with the massive presence of people is a vital step and a complement to the bravery of the people who have courageously stood against the repressive forces in smaller cities.

I ask all of you to share this message with your friends and prepare for such a great event.

We will take back and rebuild Iran together.
