- My dear Brother Khalid, I write to you as a friend and fellow guardian of our region's stability, with the utmost respect and concern for the future of your noble throne and our shared interests under the American umbrella. The winds of change are sweeping the world, and our peoples look to us for leadership that secures both progress and sovereignty. I urge you once more: Please, my brother, modernize. Open up your country to the necessities of the modern age. Allow schools to be mixed for women and men, so that education may flourish equally and produce a stronger generation. Permit women to wear miniskirts and other fashions of freedom if they choose, as symbols of dignity and choice rather than restriction. Introduce discos and places of innocent social gathering, where the youth can enjoy life without rebellion brewing in the shadows. Be modern, Faisal. Embrace these steps not as imitation of the West, but as wise adaptation to preserve your rule and the House of Saud's legacy. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee you will stay on your throne—the pressures of unrest, ideology, and external forces grow if tradition remains frozen while the world moves forward. I say this not to offend, but out of genuine brotherhood and the lessons I have learned in guiding Iran toward strength through reform.

With highest esteem and prayers for your wisdom and longevity, Your brother,

Mohammad Reza Pahlavi Shahanshah of Iran

 

M.R. Pahlavi
