The Arab Tribes of Iranian Khuzestan May Have Just Tipped the Cards of the Internal Strife of the IRGC and What is Left of the Islamic Republic of Iran

A political declaration has just emerged from Arab tribes in Iran’s Khuzestan province — the country’s most important oil-producing region.
In the statement, they make several striking points:
• They reject the Islamic Republic and call for the complete removal of the regime
• They demand a secular democratic government based on human rights
• They stress that Khuzestan is an inseparable part of Iran
• They call for unity among all Iranian ethnic groups, including Kurds, Azeris, and Baluch
• They express support for Reza Pahlavi as a unifying national figure for a future transition
Khuzestan is not just another province; it is the heart of Iran’s oil industry and one of the most strategically important regions in the country.
When voices from inside that region begin calling openly for a democratic future beyond the Islamic Republic, it signals something much bigger:
The cracks inside the regime’s foundations may be widening…

Declaration
Assembly of the Arab Tribes of Iranian Khuzestan
"For Iran, for freedom and equality, solidarity"
("Healthy Iran, healthy Zaadi and Barbari Al-Mabastigi")
We, the assembly, descendants of the Arab tribes of Khuzestan (Bani Kaab, Bani Tamim, Bani Lam, and others), with historical awareness of the present moment and looking upon the pure land of Iran, our homeland, and with the presence and religion of our ancestors, declare... our loyalty and commitment to the side of the pure land of Iran.
A national declaration of the Arabs of Iran.
Khuzestan, this large border province, has for years been under the regime of the Islamic Republic, subjected to severe shortages, discrimination, military siege, oppression, and soft control. We see this as the imposition of crises of siege, oppression, and soft control upon us. Among the people of Khuzestan, we see their heart and soul as Ahvaz, Abadan, and other cities, not as the heart and soul of Tehran.
Our goals and principles:
- National goal: We want the complete overthrow of the current Islamic Republic regime and the establishment of a secular government.
We believe that the rights of the global community and nations should be built on foundations of freedom for all peoples and nations.
- National unity and territorial integrity: With absolute certainty, we emphasize the preservation of Iran’s territorial integrity and unity. We see any call for division or separation of Iranian territory as the enemy’s desire to destroy the security, comfort, and aspirations of the Iranian people. Iran is the shared home of all of us.
- Diversity and cultural identity: We guarantee the preservation of the Arabic language, customs, traditions, and culture of our Arab origin. Within the great Iranian culture, we believe and recognize that in Iran, the rights of all ethnicities and languages must be respected as personal rights, and that national unity should be forged through participation in the great Iranian culture.
- Support for the leadership phase: We do not stand alongside other opposition forces in solidarity at this stage of leadership; instead, we see a broad national alliance under the banner of Reza Pahlavi as an effective way to advance the widespread popular uprising and remove this corrupt regime from the scene. We support and defend this for the sake of overcoming this crisis.
- Social and economic justice: For Khuzestan, the residents of Khuzestan must benefit from their underground resources (oil, etc.) through a national management system and unified constitution and laws so that their children can prosper and progress.
We, all the brothers of the Arab people and Iranian ethnic groups, want in this way to stand hand in hand, stand alongside the engineers of tomorrow’s Iran, stand for the reconstruction of Iran.
Long live free and united Iran
