Who is Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran's last shah?
- On Wednesday in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump told Reuters the United States was `not at that stage yet` about backing Reza Pahlavi, exiled Iranian crown prince.
- After protests erupted in late December, demonstrators increasingly rallied behind Pahlavi as HRANA reported over 2,500 deaths, and many have turned to him as an opposition figure.
- Reza Pahlavi, who has lived in the United States since 1978, has emerged as a prominent media voice and urged protesters to continue, calling the struggle `This is a war`.
- President Donald Trump said the United States is not seeking war but vowed `strong action` should Iran execute protesters, and Washington would not oppose an Iranian-chosen leader but stopped short of endorsing Pahlavi.
- Iran's opposition remains fragmented and lacks a cohesive structure inside the country, and President Donald Trump said `any regime can fall` but stressed uncertainty about who might lead if clerical rule collapses.
