Reza Pahlavi targeted in Berlin as he denounces ceasefire and urges Western action

An unnamed demonstrator doused Iran’s exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi with a red liquid in Berlin during a press conference; authorities arrested the attacker and reports said the liquid appeared to be tomato juice. Pahlavi used the moment to condemn the Iran–US–Israel ceasefire, urge Western countries to join a potential confrontation with Tehran, and argue that diplomacy has already been given a chance while change is coming.

Trump questions viability of exiled Iranian prince as future leader

In a White House meeting with German Chancellor Merz, Donald Trump reiterated skepticism about Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran’s last shah, potentially leading Iran, noting that while some people like him, the administration has not given serious consideration to him and that most of the candidates they had in mind are dead. Pahlavi, who lives in exile in the U.S., says Iranians trust him and would welcome a return, and he is slated to speak at CPAC in Texas. Trump indicated that an internal Iranian successor might be more appropriate, though he did not name any alternative.

Reza Pahlavi Calls Post-Khamenei Iran a Chance for Transition

60 Minutes interviews Reza Pahlavi in Paris after Ayatollah Khamenei’s death, with him arguing the moment offers Iran’s “chance” for a democratic transition and saying he would serve as a transitional leader rather than king. He outlines four core principles—territorial integrity, separation of religion from state, equality under the law, and a democratic process—supports dismantling Iran’s nuclear program, and says some security forces could defect with amnesty as Iranians push for change, while praising Trump for intervention and stressing that change must come from within Iranians, not foreign endorsement.

Exiled prince pitches US-backed path to Iran’s post-Khamenei era

Exiled heir Reza Pahlavi argues he is best positioned to lead a post-Khamenei Iran, claiming broad domestic support and military backing for a transitional government, while promoting a plan he calls MIGA (Make Iran Great Again) and suggesting opening Iran to U.S. investment could generate trillions in economic benefits; he says he’s briefing Sen. Lindsey Graham for a bipartisan Senate push, but analysts question his ability to organize a credible ground game inside Iran.

Pahlavi envisions democratic Iran with Israel ties after elections

Reza Pahlavi, exiled heir to Iran’s crown, writes in the Washington Post after Ayatollah Khamenei’s death that Iran should transition to democracy: a transitional government, a new constitution, and free elections under international oversight, with the future government immediately recognizing and establishing relations with Israel. He argues Iran is not Iraq and cautions against a protracted US military footprint, praising Donald Trump for supporting Iranians during the crisis.

Exiled Crown Prince Eyes Transitional Iran Amid Crisis

Exiled Crown Prince Eyes Transitional Iran Amid Crisis

Reza Pahlavi, the exiled former crown prince of Iran, is positioning himself as a potential transitional leader if the Islamic Republic collapses, advocating a secular, democratic system with a constitution drafted by Iranians and a separation of religion from state. He has courted Western support, including meetings with U.S. officials, and has urged caution amid U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting Iran’s military capabilities. Domestic support remains divided, with polls showing a roughly split stance on his legitimacy. He has published an updated Emergency Phase booklet as part of his Iran Prosperity Project, signaling preparation for post-regime needs and a more assertive stance in protests, while explicitly ruling out an automatic restoration of the monarchy.

Exiled prince sparks global protests against Iran during Munich gathering

Around 250,000 people demonstrated in Munich on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, part of a ‘Global Day of Action’ led by Iran’s exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi to pressure Tehran, with Toronto drawing about 350,000 protesters and calls for demonstrations in Los Angeles. The rallies, aimed at signaling international support for Iranians facing a deadly crackdown, coincide with a fight over Iran’s future and a push for regime change, as the death toll from the protests remains contested between activists and official figures. Trump also floated renewed pressure on Iran amid the protests.
