By Reuters/Kayhan Life Staff: Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran’s last Shah, toppled in the 1979 Islamic Revolution, published a video address on Tuesday June 17, 2025 reiterated his call for a regime change in Tehran, adding that the Islamic Republic is collapsing and that the time has come for the Iranian people to “reclaim Iran.”
He said Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had “gone into hiding underground” and lost control of the country, describing the moment as “irreversible.” “The end of the Islamic Republic is the end of its 46-year war against the Iranian nation,” he wrote, adding, “Now is the time to rise.”
On 1 May 1986, Pahlavi disclosed that he had recently formed a government-in-exile to establish a constitutional monarchy again in Iran.
On his website, Pahlavi has said that the state of Iran should become democratic and secular, and human rights should be respected. Whether the form of government would be that of a constitutional monarchy or a republic, he would like to leave up to the people of Iran.
