Iran’s Crown Prince Pahlavi says crisis cannot be solved through talks with Tehran's regime

Exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi stated Monday that enduring peace and stability in the region cannot be achieved as long as the current Islamic Republic regime governs Iran. His remarks followed a 24-hour period of heightened tensions involving Iran, Hezbollah, and Israel.

Pahlavi accused Tehran of repeatedly dragging the region into conflict by supporting terrorist proxies. "The Islamic Republic, in its support for Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon, has started yet another military conflict and further revealed its anti-Iranian nature," Pahlavi wrote on X/Twitter. This statement came after Iran launched missiles toward Israel, prompting Israeli air force strikes on military targets within Iran.

The recent exchange occurred while the US was pursuing broader agreements with Tehran. Reports suggest President Donald Trump urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avoid retaliation, fearing it could jeopardize ongoing negotiations. However, Pahlavi contends that diplomacy with the Islamic Republic fails to address the root causes of regional instability or the aspirations of the Iranian people.

"The solution is not negotiation with the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps) and the terrorist occupiers of Iran," the prince asserted. "The solution is to stand with the Iranian nation and support its struggle to bring an end to the Islamic Republic." Pahlavi has consistently urged Western governments to abandon negotiations with Tehran and instead back internal opposition movements seeking political change. He previously warned that the regime holds the Iranian nation hostage and uses its citizens' lives as tools for exporting terror and instability.
