Exiled prince says any deal preserving Iran regime will fail
Iran's exiled prince Reza Pahlavi said on Tuesday during a meeting with Emily Thornberry, chair of the UK House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, and other committee members that any agreement preserving the Islamic Republic or its remnants would fail because the Iranian people would not accept such a deal.
Pahlavi said the meeting focused on the situation inside Iran, Tehran's repression of the Iranian people, and the need to place the people of Iran at the center of UK policy.
"Dealing with a regime that murdered more than 40,000 Iranians in January is not only morally wrong, but strategically misguided," Pahlavi said.
"With or without international support, the people of Iran will overthrow this regime. Freedom will come to Iran," he added.
