Iran's exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi expressed gratitude to U.S. President Donald Trump for his warning to the Iranian regime against using violence on protesters. Trump stated the U.S. would "come to their rescue" if peaceful demonstrators were harmed. Pahlavi welcomed Trump's stance, viewing it as a source of strength and hope for the Iranian people, and expressed a desire to restore Iran's historical ties with the U.S. following the end of the current regime.
