In an interview with Reuters on Wednesday, Pahlavi also criticized the ban on the Trump government for the fact that most Iranians go to the United States and call it "ridiculous."
Anti-government protests have struggled for almost a decade with Iran for almost one week in the longest challenge for the priesthood elite of the Islamic Republic.
Pahlavi lived in exile for nearly four decades, from his father, a shah, backed by the United States. UU. He was cast in the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
The opposition of the Iranian priesthood government is being sprayed without a clear and acclaimed leader. But some demonstrators have listened to slogans in favor of Grandfather Pahlavi, Reza Shah, who has broken the old taboo.
Pahlavi said he wanted the Iranians "to determine their destiny of free will" and commended US President Donald Trump and his cabinet members to step up their support for Iranian protesters.
He said, however, that he must also take measures to ensure that the Iranians have access to the communication tools and social networks they used to exchange videos and reports that show protests and clashes with security forces.
Iran, which bans the use of large social networks, has also restricted access to the Telegram for messaging, and Iranian users have reported serious Internet access barriers in recent days.
"We need more than lab services, we need to see concrete steps," Pahlavi said. "This should be immediate ... As we say, the regime is trying to stop anything, whether it's Instagram or Telegram."
There is a precedent for this type of US intervention. UU. In 2009, among massive protests against controversial elections, Obamas Administrative Officer asked Twitter executives to postpone scheduled maintenance so that the Iranians could continue to use this communications service.
Technological experts have documented a number of examples of commercial services that the Iranians have refused, often because of fears of non-compliance with US sanctions. UU.
Activists have called on technology companies to weaken their policy towards Iran but argue that the Trump government may extend exceptions to make it clear that some services are allowed.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Heather Nauert said at a press conference Tuesday that the United States wants the Iranians to have access to social media and other tools. But when asked that Google was "more interpreted" by US sanctions against Iran and blocked access to one of its services, Nauer said he "did not know".
Responding to the question of whether the ministry turned to technology companies seeking access to Iranians, a foreign ministry spokesman did not respond directly, but said the United States to support the free flow of information to the Iranian "is the key to a new strategy for the US President, he came across. "
PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INSURANCE
The Obama administration has approved the release of sanctions in the United States. This allows you to provide chat, email, social networking, photo sharing, web browsing, blogging, and other personal communication services.
Twitter and the Signal courier service did not respond immediately to requests for comments. Facebook and Google have refused to comment.
"The policy of these companies is not very clear," said Amir Rashidi, an Internet security researcher at the Human Rights Center in Iran, a non-governmental organization based in New York.
Pahlavi criticized Trump's decision to ban almost all Iraqi and immigrant travelers from the United States as part of a wider travel ban that targets several predominantly Muslim countries.
"Iranian diplomats can still travel (here), but innocent Iranians who really work and build this country can not come," said Pahlavi, who lives in the United States. "Why, because they're under the so-called ban, it's ridiculous."
A Foreign Ministry spokesman said he supports the United States. UU. For the Iranian people, "this is a fundamentally separate question" about the ban
