The Cyrus the Great Institute (CGI) presents a constructive assessment of the Iran Prosperity Project’s Emergency Phase plan, a 180-day roadmap for governance in the aftermath of the Islamic Republic’s overthrow. While recognizing the Booklet as the most comprehensive effort in nearly half a century to prepare for transition, CGI identifies both notable strengths and…
Constitutional monarchy offers Iran a politically stable and culturally resonant alternative to partisan republicanism. Grounded in both empirical research and philosophical tradition, it combines symbolic authority with institutional continuity, enabling national unity without authoritarianism. Monarchs function as neutral anchors above political conflict, often at lower public cost and with greater resilience than elected heads of…
The Islamic Republic of Iran is nearing collapse, sustained only by repression and conflict. Diplomacy has repeatedly failed to reform the regime, which remains committed to regional destabilization. Growing popular resistance, seen in repeated uprisings, signals an inevitable national revolution. The most effective policy is maximum pressure on the regime and direct support for the…

Instead, the U.S. should back grassroots pro-democracy movements, as advocated by Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, emphasizing non-violent resistance and a secular,…
