Ready not only to return to Iran but also to lead a government, declares the exiled son of the country’s last Shah, Reza Pahlavi. Amid the political turmoil gripping the country, Pahlavi’s name emerges dynamically after nearly half a century since the 1979 Iranian Revolution that overthrew the monarchy and sent the royal family into exile. “My brave compatriots need your urgent help at this moment,” he declared, seeking support from the international community.
Reza Pahlavi: Iran’s regime is close to collapse
Meanwhile, the 65-year-old son of Persia’s last shah believes the Iranian regime “attacks like a wounded animal, in its desperation to hold onto power,” because it is “close to collapse.” Furthermore, as Sky News reports, he reiterates his offer to lead a new Iranian government and that he will return to the country soon: “Today, as my compatriots call on me to assume leadership, I confirm my lifelong promise, undertaking to lead the movement that will reclaim our country from the anti-Iranian force that occupies it and kills its children. I will return to Iran. I am in a unique position to ensure a stable transition. This is not my opinion. It is the verdict that the people have delivered loudly and clearly in the face of bullets.“
