Video: Historic Presser in DC: Reza Pahlavi Declares Iranian Regime Near Collapse Faces Tough QA.

In a powerful full press conference in Washington, D.C., Iran’s exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi delivered a forceful message to the world: the Islamic Republic is close to collapse and the global community must act now before it’s too late. Pahlavi, speaking to an international press corps, described the current Iranian regime as weakened, fractured, and unable to cling to power amid widespread unrest at home. He asserted that the apparatus of repression is falling apart and that what has begun is “irreversible.” Throughout the historic press briefing, he urged foreign leaders, especially in the U.S. and Europe, to support the Iranian people’s quest for freedom, and outlined a comprehensive plan for a future democratic transition. Pahlavi said that the Iranian people and many within Iran’s own security forces are already pushing for change, and the world must stand with them. Following the press statement, Pahlavi faced a grilling Q&A session with reporters, tackling intense questions about his strategy, the risks of instability, and how international action could influence the path forward. His responses underscored both his urgency and his belief that peaceful democratic transition is possible with global support.
