Exiled Iranian crown prince says regime is 'crumbling' after killing of Khamenei, other leaders

Reza Pahlavi accepted leadership to guide Iran's transition after regime strikes killed Supreme Leader Khamenei, aiming for stability and democratic elections, he said.

  • Reza Pahlavi, exiled crown prince and son of the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, said he is ready to lead Iran if the current government collapses after many Iranians asked him to guide a transition.
  • With no successor announced, Iran is currently governed by a temporary leadership council, following operations last weekend that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, which he said was caused by operations resulting in his death.
  • Pahlavi argued, calling for rebuilding ties with Western countries and Israel and urging Arab states to support a future transitional government, emphasizing only the ballot box should determine Iran's future.
  • Roughly, the domestic picture shows growing street readiness and elements of the regime are 'crumbling,' Pahlavi said he aims to restore stability and let Iranians decide through elections.
  • Looking to the region and economy, he argues that a democratic Iran would boost regional stability and open large U.S. economic opportunities, including more than $1 trillion in revenue over a decade.
