Shah-Sohn calls on Iranians to resist the regime!

Teheran, Iran - On June 14, 2025, a current article on Exxpress.at, like the son of the last Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, calls on the Iranian population to raise against the current regime. Although he does not necessarily strive to restore the monarchy, he would like to use his name to support the secular democracy movement in Iran. In this context, there is an astonishing connection between Iranian monarchists and Israel, which is a significant deviation from traditional Iranian foreign policy.

Since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iran Israel has discussed the right to exist and positioned itself as an opponent of the Jewish state. According to the Wikipedia side with the Iranian-Israeli relationships, Iran broke all diplomatic contacts with Israel at that time, and all previously existing agreements were canceled. The official Iranian state doctrine has strongly anchored the fight against Israel, which is reflected in aggressive statements, as from Mahmud Ahmadineschād, who claimed that Israel must be repaid by the map.

The role of the monarchists

The support of the monarchists for Israel is clearly evident in pro-Israeli rallies, while at the same time swinging the old Iranian flag and praising Benjamin Netanyahu. This attitude causes concern among pro-Palestinian activists, since many Iranians are increasingly distance themselves from the unpopular external and domestic decisions of their government. In particular, the support of Reza Pahlavi by monarchists is considered opportunistic, since many have the impression that they do not really represent the interests of the Iranian people.

Narges Mohammadi, a prominent women's rights activist and political prisoner, received the Nobel Peace Prize in December, but this was attacked by monarchists. Yasmine Pahlavi, Reza Pahlavi's wife, also skeptically commented on Mohammadi and questioned her credibility. In contrast, the monarchists demand a unit of opposition under Pahlavi and support radical US policies against Iran.

tensions between Israel and Iran

The tensions between Israel and Iran have increased as part of the Iranian nuclear program. Iran has been threatened by Iran for decades and fears that a military solution to Iran will become increasingly likely. This is underpinned by the latest reports that Israel carries out air strikes on Iranian nuclear programs, while the Iranian regime still holds on its nuclear project.

In this tense situation, the Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused the Pahlavi supporters of doing nothing to liberate the Palestinians and criticized the split and weak Iranian government. He appealed to the international community not to offer the regime a "lifeline".

The disagreements within the Iranian opposition and the role of the monarchists take a critical look at the future of the political landscape in Iran. Even if Pahlavi and his supporters take a pro-Israeli attitude in the monarchist movement, it remains to be seen how the dynamics within the country and the international reaction to it will develop.

Overall, it turns out that the son of the Shahs and the monarchists have a complex relationship with the current geopolitical situation, while at the same time trying to strengthen their own political impact on the secular democracy movement in Iran.
