Son of Last Iranian Shah Draws Ovation at Texas Conference
Share:
Reza Pahlavi, son of Iran's last shah, received standing ovations during a speech to an enthusiastic audience at a conference in Texas. In his address, Pahlavi characterized current conflicts as a historic opportunity to overthrow Iran's clerical regime. The appearance comes amid ongoing tensions between Iran's theocratic government, which came to power in the 1979 Islamic Revolution that overthrew Pahlavi's father, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and Western nations. The younger Pahlavi has long advocated for regime change in Iran from exile.
