Exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has described the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei as “the game changer we’ve been waiting for”, declaring that the moment marks “the beginning of the very end of the regime”.
In a Washington Post opinion piece and a televised interview on Fox News, Pahlavi publicly thanked US President Donald Trump for ordering strikes that he said have shifted the balance of power inside Iran.
“Mr. President: Thank
you,” Pahlavi wrote. “Those words gave the Iranian people strength, and I am certain they will meet this moment.”
In the media interview, he said: “There’s no question that this is the game changer we’ve been waiting for.”
He added that “the jubilation of Iranians at home and abroad shows how much people were hoping for this moment,” and said he joined “millions of Iranians thanking President Trump from taking this into action and delivering on his promise.”
