Princess Noor says family fighting for Iranians denied freedom for 47 years

Jun 2, 2026, 11:51 GMT+1

Exiled Iranian Princess Noor Pahlavi said on Tuesday that her family was fighting for Iranians who have been denied freedom for 47 years.

Speaking at the 2026 Oslo Freedom Forum, she said her father, Prince Reza Pahlavi, and her family seek free elections in Iran.

“My father's goal, and ours as a family, is singular: a transition to free and fair elections in which Iranians decide their future. We are not fighting for a throne, we are fighting for freedom for a people who have been denied it for 47 years,” Princess Noor said.

“There is no neutral handshake,” she told the forum. “You are either standing with 92 million Iranians fighting for freedom, or you are shaking the bloody hands of those murdering them.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks at a farewell ceremony for outgoing Mossad chief David Barnea on June 1, 2026.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday night that the foundations of Iran’s ruling system had “cracked” and that it would eventually fall.

Speaking at a farewell ceremony for outgoing Mossad chief David Barnea, Netanyahu said Iran had already paid a heavy price, according to a statement form the prime minister’s office.

“The foundations of this terrorist regime in Iran have cracked. It will never return to what it was, and I tell you – it will fall in the end,” Netanyahu said.

He also warned that anyone plotting against Israel would fail and pay a heavy price.

“Let anyone who plots evil against Israel know that their schemes will fail. The price they will pay will be heavy indeed,” he said.

Netanyahu praised the Mossad as one of Israel’s major global “brands” and thanked Barnea for 30 years of service, including five years as its director.

Barnea urges regime change in Iran

The outgoing Mossad chief also said Israel should remain committed to toppling Iran’s ruling system.

Barnea said the Islamic Republic was at its weakest after the recent war and that Israel should “complete the job.”

“I believed, and I still believe, that a change in the reality in Iran by virtue of toppling the regime is a possible and achievable goal,” Barnea said.

He said such a goal would require “persistence, a cool head, and commitment to the mission.”

“This mission must remain as our top priority,” he added.
