Reza Pahlavi warns against giving lifeline to Iranian regime, claims it's collapsing and urges support for opposition.
Europe and the United States should not give a lifeline to the Iranian leadership under Ayatollah Ali Khamenei through talks when his rule is “closer every day” to ending, the son of Iran’s ousted shah told AFP on Monday (June 23, 2025).
“I can hardly imagine that a regime that is now severely diminished in its capabilities and has been practically humiliated is in the mood for more talks,” Reza Pahlavi, formerly crown prince and now a key opposition figure, said in an interview in Paris.
