Iran’s exiled prince Reza Pahlavi said on Monday he was in London meeting political leaders to urge support for the Iranian people’s fight for a secular, democratic Iran.
Earlier in the day, Middle East Eye reported, citing sources within the UK parliament and the Labor Party, that Pahlavi is set to address British MPs and peers on Monday to discuss the situation in Iran and his plans for a transition to secular democracy.
According to the report, Pahlavi will brief lawmakers on “the ongoing situation in Iran and his plan for the collapse of the current regime and for a stable transition to a secular democracy.”
The event, co-hosted by Labor MP Luke Akehurst and Conservative MP Aphra Brandreth, is scheduled for 5pm in a parliamentary committee room, the report said.
