The last Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, who hoped for a restoration of the monarchy

"It is the time to rise; it is the time to reclaim Iran. Let us stand together and end this regime," said Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi to Iranian dissidents after Israel launched military attacks on Iranian territory since June 12.

He recently stated, "Do not fear the consequences after the collapse of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Iran will not fall into civil war or turmoil. We have already planned for Iran's future and its prosperity."

Reza Pahlavi (October 31, 1960) is the eldest son of Shah Mohammad-Reza Pahlavi and Queen Farah Pahlavi of the Pahlavi dynasty in Iran, and also the last crown prince of Iran. His supporters call him Shah Reza II, but he himself tends to be low-key and does not like to refer to himself that way.

Biography

In 1980, Reza Pahlavi was sworn in as the new Shah of Iran in Cairo, Egypt.

In 1978, Reza went to the United States for studies. He learned to fly at the Reese Air Force Base in Texas, then studied at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, and finally obtained a degree in political science from the University of Southern California.

After the Iranian Islamic Revolution in 1979, Reza lived in Morocco and Egypt successively, and has been settled in the United States since 1984. In 2013, he established the Iranian National Council.

Reza Pahlavi married Yasmine Etemad Amini on June 12, 1986. They have three daughters. The family currently resides in Potomac, Maryland, USA.

Reza Pahlavi's popularity is increasing

More notable than his family heritage are the three guiding principles he leads: maintaining the territorial integrity of Iran, establishing a secular democratic system based on human rights, and deciding Iran's political future through free elections. Although these principles are worth further discussion, they make Crown Prince Reza a unifying and trustworthy figure among the divided opposition in Iran.
