Last Iranian Shah Voices Opposition to Treaty with Iran
London – Sixty-five-year-old Reza Pahlavi, the last Iranian Shah, publicly stated his opposition to international efforts to formalize a treaty with the Islamic Republic of Iran. The statement was made during a visit to London where he advocated for support of the Iranian opposition. Pahlavi asserted that he would not sign any agreement that would perpetuate the current regime in Iran.
He referenced ongoing negotiations, which the United States administration believed were nearing completion, stating that these discussions would inevitably fail and carry significant consequences. The Iranian heir to the throne expressed a desire for a shift in the political landscape of Iran, indicating a belief that freedom would ultimately prevail for the Iranian people. He positioned himself as a representative of the Iranian opposition, urging international backing against the existing government.
The comments come as the United States prepared to formally sign the treaty with Tehran. Pahlavi’s stance highlights a significant division within the Iranian political landscape and raises questions about the future of relations between Iran and the international community.
