Exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi urged President Trump to take action in Iran, calling such intervention “humanitarian.”
Speaking to Maria Bartiromo of Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” Pahlavi explained that the “president should also know that they have also kept on killing and killing and killing,” referring to the Iranian regime. “That’s why an intervention is so necessary because the first ask of Iranians today, at home and abroad, is asking for help. This intervention is a humanitarian intervention to save lives that will otherwise also continue to be lost.”
Pahlavi added that he hopes the president “realizes how urgent” the idea of an intervention is and how it “could save lives and also help us put an end to this unwanted regime.”
Last year, Pahlavi expressed hope that the “Islamic Republic is collapsing.”
“Credible reports indicate that Ali Khamenei’s family – and the families of senior regime officials – are making preparations to flee Iran,” he said during a press conference. “The regime is on its last legs, in towns and cities across the country. The military is fractured. The people are united. The foundations of this 46-year tyranny are shaking.”
“This is our Berlin Wall moment,” he stated, adding that as long as the regime is in power, “no country and no people are safe: whether on the streets of Washington, Paris, Jerusalem, Riyadh or Tehran.”
“I am here today to submit myself to my compatriots to lead them down this road to peace and a democratic transition,” Pahlavi further declared. “I do not seek political power, but rather to help our great nation navigate through this critical hour toward stability, freedom, and justice.”
