Describing the combination of protests and strikes as a potent strategy in confronting the Islamic Republic, he noted: "In my view, more than calling [the movement] a campaign, I think it's really a cause." Prince Reza Pahlavi pointed out the considerable number of Iranians living abroad, stating, "We have more than eight million Iranians living abroad; if you take 10% of those to be active participants in the movement, it will change the entire dynamic."
