It Is Not Just About Regime Change – It Is About Reshaping The Region: The Post-Ayatollahs Iran Has To Include Non-Persians
The solution to Balochistan's 77-year plight is not regime change in Tehran or Islamabad.
The solution to Balochistan's decades-long occupation is to give full control of the republic of a united Balochistan to its own people.

Not The Mullahs Nor The Shah
Both Iran and Pakistan are repressing, persecuting, jailing, and massacring the Baloch people. Today's Mullah regime in Iran is executing our people on bogus charges, demolishing Baloch villages to pave the way to shift its capital Tehran to Makuran,[1] in Balochistan's Chabahar coastal regions, tomorrow the Pahlavi regime will continue the legacy of Khamenei by suppressing the Baloch nation as his father Reza Shah Pahlavi in 1973 helped Pakistan's Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto quell our legitimate independent movement.[2]
We desire to inform all those people who are helping install Reza Pahlavi in Tehran after expelling Khamenei, that their money, blood, and efforts will be wasted if they do not include Baloch, Kurds, Ahwazis, and the other non-Persian ethnic nations that comprise 50 of the population as stakeholders in this entire process.
Khamenei is funding proxies to harm Israel and the Middle East, the Pahlavi will continue developing the Iranian nuclear program with a beardless face and diplomatic attire.
A placard reads: "Iran is a country of 70 nations. A coalition of parties. One person [referring to Reza Pahlavi] is not an attorney for the whole country. Any coalition of any kind, if it is going to happen, must be formed with all parties." (Source: Twitter)
