Urging renewed protests Reza Pahlavi warns against Iran peace talks
Grapevine (Texas): Iranian opposition figure Reza Pahlavi on Saturday cautioned that negotiating with Iran’s current leadership would only delay security risks and said he would again call on Iranians to take to the streets in protest.
Addressing the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Texas, Pahlavi said any peace deal with Tehran’s rulers would amount to postponing future threats. Referring to recent remarks by US President Donald Trump that he did not want to confront security challenges from Iran “every two years,” Pahlavi said talks with the present regime would achieve precisely that outcome, as reported by Reuters.
“The only thing that the remnants of this regime can be relied on to do is to buy time, to cheat and to steal. They will never be honest or true partners for peace,” he said, adding that negotiations would allow Tehran to regroup before returning to what he described as hostile policies.
Pahlavi is the exiled son of Iran’s former shah. He received a standing ovation as he took the stage. He said he was prepared to return to Iran after nearly 47 years in exile, positioning himself as a candidate to lead a transitional government.
At several points, sections of the audience, including Iranian Americans, chanted slogans in support of the former monarchy. Pahlavi also sought to link political change in Iran to American economic and security interests. He said a free Iran would offer opportunities for US businesses.
Iran’s opposition landscape remains divided among multiple factions, and Trump has previously indicated scepticism about Pahlavi’s prospects, suggesting that leadership may need to emerge from within Iran.
Pahlavi reiterated that he would call for sustained nationwide protests “when the right moment arrives,” urging Iranians to reclaim their future.
