Son of Iran's Last Shah Seeks Prominent Role Amidst Expanding Protests

Reza Pahlavi, son of Iran's last Shah, has emerged as a prominent voice supporting ongoing anti-government protests, calling for an end to clerical rule from his US base. While some demonstrators chant his name, many others demand broader political and economic changes, with slogans like "Down with the dictator" targeting Supreme Leader Khamenei. Pahlavi, who has not visited Iran in decades, expresses readiness to lead a transition to a secular, democratic Iran, echoing his past support for demonstrations in 2009 and 2022.
