Iran's exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has called for a "new Iran" and an end to the Islamic Republic's 46-year rule, supporting ongoing nationwide protests fueled by economic crisis. Pahlavi, son of the last monarch, urged Iranians to continue their struggle and appealed to the international community for support, stating the current regime is at its weakest. He believes peace in the Middle East and global stability depend on a free Iran.
