Exiled son of last shah offers to serve as interim Iran leader
- On June 23, 2025, the former heir of Iran's deposed monarch, currently living abroad, announced his willingness to lead the nation through a transition amid the unraveling of the Islamic Republic.
- His offer follows recent U.S. bombings of Iranian nuclear sites and ongoing Israeli air strikes that weakened Tehran's leadership and regime control.
- Pahlavi said he created a secure platform for military and security personnel to defect, claiming credible reports that officials are preparing to flee Iran.
- He stated that the Islamic Republic is coming to an end and falling apart, describing the situation as a pivotal "Berlin Wall moment" that calls for the international community to acknowledge the necessity of regime change.
- Pahlavi’s call implies a potential political shift in Iran, urging Western states to support the Iranian people and avoid extending talks that could prolong the regime's survival.
