Exiled son of last shah offers to serve as interim Iran leader

  • On June 23, 2025, Reza Pahlavi, the former crown prince of Iran living abroad, spoke at a conference in Paris where he outlined a plan for the country’s peaceful transition to democracy.
  • He described Iran's regime as severely diminished and collapsing, citing credible reports that officials are preparing to flee and security personnel are defecting.
  • Pahlavi urged individuals in exile and members of the diaspora community from all political backgrounds to come together and encouraged Western nations to refrain from providing further support that might prolong the regime’s survival.
  • He characterized the current moment as 'our Berlin Wall moment,' warning it carries dangers but offers a historic opportunity to establish a republic based on law and dignity.
  • Pahlavi asserted a free Iran could stabilize the region, and his national plan, endorsed by growing internal support, aims to guide the country after the Islamic Republic's eventual fall.
