Prince Reza Pahlavi says he is ready to ‘lead transition’ in Iran
Exiled prince Reza Pahlavi told Fox News he has stepped forward “to lead this transition from this tyranny to a future democracy,” saying his aim is a peaceful change “by means of national referendum and constitutional assembly,” and that he is “more than ever ready to step in Iran” for the “ultimate battle.”
“At the call of my compatriots, I stepped forward to lead this transition from this tyranny to a future democracy,” Pahlavi told Sean Hannity on Fox on Tuesday. “My role is to help my compatriots achieve that goal… I’m impartial as to what the ultimate result will be, so long as it’s a secular democracy.”
“I’ve trained all my life to serve my nation,” Pahlavi said. “I’m more than ever ready to step in Iran as soon as the situation warrants itself, and I’ll be there among my compatriots to lead the ultimate battle.”
