Iran’s exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi voiced strong support for the US and Israel’s campaign against the Islamic Republic, saying the effort to dismantle the regime’s “infrastructure of terror” has the broad backing of the Iranian people.
In a post on X, Pahlavi accused the regime of using Iranian civilians as human shields and called it a “crime against humanity.” He urged members of Iran’s armed forces to lay down their weapons and join the Iranian people, promising that those who do would have a place in a future free Iran.
NEWSRAEL: WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT
Reza Pahlavi remains one of the most recognizable opposition figures to the Islamic Republic, and his public support for US-Israel military pressure reflects growing efforts by Iranian dissidents to frame the conflict not as a war against Iran, but as a campaign against the ruling regime. His call for Iran’s military to abandon the regime signals an attempt to accelerate internal fractures that could ultimately determine the future of power in Tehran.
