This country to overthrow Khamenei? Iran’s exiled former prince holds back-to-back meetings, the country is…, not Saudi Arabia, Qatar
Iran’s troubles just do not seem to end and this time, it is not the usual rivals like the US or Israel causing concern. Instead, it is the powerful country where Iran’s exiled former prince, Reza Pahlavi, is holding a series of important meetings. That country is the United Kingdom. Reza Pahlavi is currently in London, where he is meeting British politicians one after another. On Monday, he met with several UK Members of Parliament and said he is there to gather support for a secular and democratic government in Iran, a system, he believes, the people of Iran truly need.
According to a report by British media outlet Middle East Eye, Reza Pahlavi spoke to MPs in the British Parliament about the current situation inside Iran. He also shared his views on how a change in leadership could take place. In past interviews too, he has said that now is the right time for regime change, as he believes Iran is currently at its weakest point.
What is Reza Pahlavi planning?
The report say that Reza Pahlavi is explaining to UK lawmakers how things are under the current regime in Iran. More importantly, he is also sharing his plans to help Iran transition from an Islamic government to a stable, secular democracy.
What’s notable is that these meetings are happening frequently. Another meeting was recently hosted by Luke Akehurst, a Labour Party MP, and Afra Brandreth, a Conservative MP, showing that interest in Reza’s message is cutting across political lines in the UK.
What did Reza Pahlavi say?
While in the UK, Reza Pahlavi not only briefed British lawmakers about the situation in Iran but also posted a message on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
In his post, he wrote: “The Iranian regime openly calls for the destruction of Britain. This is a danger not just for the Iranian people but for the British people as well. I am in London meeting with political leaders to urge them to support the Iranian people’s fight for a secular and democratic Iran. This is in the best interest of both our nations.”
Reza Pahlavi’s stand against Iran’s islamic regime
Reza Pahlavi has long been a vocal critic of Iran’s current Islamic leadership. He has repeatedly called for removing the ruling regime and shifting to a democratic system.
In a recent interview, he said that now is the right time to remove Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei from power. He stressed that no military is needed for this — the people of Iran themselves are the real force.
He also reminded everyone what Iran was like before the Islamic Revolution and how far behind the country has fallen since then. Reza has made it clear that if given the chance, he wants to help build a free, democratic Iran that respects the rights of all its citizens.
