Exiled Iranian Crown Prince Calls for Support Amid Protests, Predicts Regime Fall

Reza Pahlavi, son of Iran's last shah, has declared the Islamic Republic's fall inevitable amid ongoing protests and a violent crackdown. Speaking from Washington, he urged international support for demonstrators and outlined a plan for an orderly transition, including referendums on Iran's future governance. Pahlavi claims parts of Iran's security forces have defected and calls for targeted actions against the Revolutionary Guard. While positioning himself as a potential leader, he has not confirmed plans to restore the monarchy.
