US EditionExiled Iranian Prince says Ceasefire Not the End, Regime Will Fall
Pahlavi said the regime remains weakened and that Iranians must deliver the final blow, while rights groups say a crackdown killed thousands.
- On Wednesday, Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi told Iranians that the two-week ceasefire and Israeli-US strikes did not constitute regime change. Pahlavi argued that the same individuals still head parliament and the judiciary, stating, "For us, this is not a regime change."
- Pahlavi's rejection directly challenges President Donald Trump, who stated last week that the war achieved a "very productive regime change." Trump also warned that any country supplying Iran with military weapons would face immediate 50% tariffs.
- While acknowledging the two-week ceasefire "disheartened" many supporters, Pahlavi insisted the Islamic Republic suffered an "unprecedented blow" in the war. He urged Iranians to "remain patient and protect yourselves" while awaiting the "decisive moment."
- Pahlavi warned that the regime, despite its weakened state, retains enough coercive power to continue repression. He predicted that Iranians themselves will eventually overthrow the Islamic Republic, declaring there is "no path of escape and no chance of survival."
- Despite his rising profile, Pahlavi has not received official recognition from the United States. He represents one of several Iranian diaspora groups, which are often divided, complicating efforts to unite opposition movements against the current government.
