A Voice from the Shadows: Daniel Tagardos and the Cry for Freedom in Iran

Now I’m delighted to have joining us in the studio, a man whose voice carries the weight of a nation’s suffering and the hope of a people. Daniel Tagardos, a royalist political activist from Iran, has lived through unspeakable horrors—and now, he speaks for the silenced.

Daniel left Iran eight years ago. But the memory of what he witnessed as a child—only five years old—still haunts him. He recalls standing in a crowded city square, watching as a man was hanged in public. That gruesome moment defined the Iran he fled: a country ruled not by law, but by fear.

For years, Daniel kept his grief and fury to himself. But now, in an era of renewed resistance and rising unrest, he is speaking out with extraordinary courage. When asked what would happen if he returned to Iran today, he doesn’t hesitate: “I’d be hanging from a lamppost.” That’s how dangerous it is to speak against the Islamic theocratic regime.

Iran has endured nearly half a century of brutal clerical rule. Since the 1979 revolution, a self-proclaimed Ayatollah seized power without constitutional reform, forming a government not from democratic processes but from his circle of Islamist and leftist allies. According to Tagardos, this illegitimate regime has systematically dismantled Iran’s social fabric, economy, and civil liberties.

He cites one of the darkest moments in Iran’s modern history: the Cinema Rex fire in Abadan, where 600 people perished. “That massacre marked the beginning of this bloody revolution,” he says. “And ever since, they’ve been killing. That’s how they rule.”

In recent weeks, the regime has intensified its crackdown. Accusations of espionage for Israel have become a deadly excuse to execute civilians. Just two days before this interview, three men were executed under such charges. “Iran leads the world in executions per capita,” Daniel notes grimly. “And they’re ramping it up.”

The 1979 revolution, he insists, was a catastrophe that plunged Iran into darkness. But what would come after the Ayatollah? That’s the question many fear.

Tagardos offers a controversial but increasingly popular answer: the return of the monarchy. Specifically, Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, son of the late Shah. “When you talk to Iranians—even in rural villages—you hear them whisper his name. They call him ‘the son of the Shah,’” Daniel says. “Polls show 80% support for him to lead a transitional government. He’s seen as the only figure who can unite the country.”

Despite decades of anti-American, anti-Israeli, and anti-Western propaganda, Tagardos believes the Iranian people are ready for change—radical, irreversible change. “The regime’s lies are crumbling. People are starving, disappearing, bleeding in the streets. They’re ready. But they need help.”

What kind of help? Daniel doesn’t call for military invasion. But he does argue that coordinated outside pressure—economic, diplomatic, and tactical—is essential. He points to recent Israeli strikes on the IRGC and internal security forces as the kind of support that emboldens people to rise.

“They’ve tried,” he reminds us. In 2017. In 2019. In 2022. In each case, thousands flooded the streets. In November 2019 alone, an estimated 4,000 protesters were killed. In 2022, another 600. Thousands more vanished, likely detained or executed without trial. “We’re not talking about riot police and batons. We’re talking about snipers on rooftops and men with AK-47s shooting unarmed civilians in broad daylight,” he says.

Still, hope burns. For Tagardos, the idea of a constitutional monarchy isn’t nostalgia—it’s a lifeline. “The monarchy is woven into the cultural DNA of Iran. But Crown Prince Reza has said the people must choose—through a fair election—whether they want a king or a republic.”

What matters now, he argues, is unity. Iranians in exile, allies abroad, and ordinary citizens must coordinate to push the regime to its breaking point. “It’s going to get worse before it gets better. But it will get better. I believe that. I have to.”

As our interview draws to a close, the conversation circles back to the human cost. “You know,” Daniel says quietly, “we always talk about revolutions and geopolitics, but what about the mother whose son disappeared in 2019? What about the little girl who grew up without a father because he spoke out?”

There’s a moment of silence in the studio.

“I speak because I can. Because I survived,” he adds. “Others didn’t.”

And with that, the voice of a royalist activist echoes far beyond the walls of the studio—into the hearts of a nation still struggling to break free.

End.
