Reza Pahlavi is touring Europe, calling for regime change in Iran and positioning himself as a transitional leader. Speaking in Rome, he claimed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps now dominates governance, questioning the legitimacy of the current system. Pahlavi also criticised the United States for engaging with Iran amid tensions. While he points to protest support, his actual backing remains uncertain decades after the Iranian Revolution. Despite unrest, no major uprising has emerged during the ongoing crisis.
