Reza Pahlavi calls on Trump to ‘help’ Iranian people

Reza Pahlavi, the son of the former Shah of Iran, has urged former U.S. President Donald Trump to assist the Iranian people in their struggle for democracy. Pahlavi's call comes in the wake of Trump's remarks on February 13, where he suggested that a governmental change in Iran would be highly beneficial. This statement coincided with the deployment of a second U.S. aircraft carrier to the West Asia region, aimed at increasing military pressure on the Iranian regime. Pahlavi's appeal highlights the ongoing tension between the Iranian government and its citizens, who have been pushing for greater freedoms and reforms. He emphasized the importance of international support in fostering a favorable environment for change in Iran, reinforcing the need for global attention on the Iranian people's plight amidst rising geopolitical tensions. As Iran faces internal dissent and external pressure, Pahlavi's call for help signals a potential shift in how the U.S. might engage with the Iranian issue, particularly as the region remains a focal point of U.S. foreign policy.
