Son of Iran’s last shah calls for U.S. action Supporters gather in Munich

The exiled son of Iran’s last shah, Reza Pahlavi, urged U.S. President Donald Trump to assist the Iranian people in ending the Islamic Republic during a speech at the Munich Security Conference, following Trump’s comments on the potential for a government change in Iran. Pahlavi’s call coincided with large protests outside the conference, where supporters demanded international pressure against the Iranian regime after a violent crackdown on recent demonstrations. Despite ongoing protests and calls for monarchy’s return, the Iranian opposition remains divided, with Pahlavi criticized for his past associations and support for Israel. Trump, while not specifying a preferred successor to Iran’s leadership, indicated that there are potential candidates for a future government.
