\"Reza<\/p>\n

\n Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran\u2019s last shah<\/a> ousted by the 1979 Islamic Revolution, has called for a two-day strike across the country, which has been rocked by more than 10 days of anti-government protests.<\/a>\n <\/p>\n

\n The exiled opposition figure appeared to address protesters in a video posted on X calling for \u201cworkers and employees in key sectors of the economy \u2014 especially transportation, oil and gas, and energy \u2014 to begin a nationwide strike\u201d from Saturday, the start of the working week in Iran.\n <\/p>\n

\n His online video address comes during a government-imposed internet blackout in Iran, implemented amid ongoing unrest across the nation.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI also ask all of you\u2026 to come into the streets with flags, images and national symbols and to reclaim public spaces as your own,\u201d he said.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe goal is to prepare to seize city centers and hold them,\u201d he added, claiming that Friday\u2019s protests sent a powerful message to Iran\u2019s leaders.\n <\/p>\n

\n It is not clear how popular Pahlavi is inside Iran.\n <\/p>\n

\n The US-based figure was only 16 when the revolution ended his father\u2019s 40-year rule. The eldest son of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, he was the first in the line to inherit the oil-rich, thousand-year-old empire.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran\u2019s last shah ousted by the 1979 Islamic Revolution, has called for a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":230702,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-230701","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230701"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230701\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230702"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
