What Maximum Support Means

Maximum Support is inspired by the principle of Maximum Pressure, but rooted in legitimacy and justice.
We believe that as of today, Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi is the only figure with both the moral authority and public support to represent the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom.

He embodies unity, not division – secularism, not theocracy – and a vision for a political system where the people, not ideology, decide the future.

We support the people of Iran — not factions, not ideologies — and we believe their future must be shaped by their will, not by foreign interests or political opportunism.

Our Political Values

We endorse the principles laid out by Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi:

Secularism and freedom of religion

  • Gender equality
  • Human rights and the rule of law
  • Non-violent political transformation
  • National sovereignty and territorial integrity
  • Free elections and democratic participation

We consider a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system an ideal model for a future Iran – where the monarchy plays a symbolic role, and all political power rests with the elected parliament.

However, we believe governance is about content, not form. Whether Iran becomes a republic or a monarchy is up to the people. What matters is that this decision is made through a free and democratic referendum.
We will respect the will of the Iranian people.

Our Track Record

Maximum Support has been involved in organizing and supporting major demonstrations, campaigns, and commemorations across Europe – from Oslo and Brussels to Berlin, Paris, and Hamburg.

We were actively engaged in the mobilization surrounding the Mahsa movement and have built strong networks with international political, cultural, and media actors.

Our strength lies in our ability to combine activism, diplomacy, and communication – and to channel the voice of a people who demand their country back.

Help us amplify the voices of a nation in resistance
