“I will fight for my people and my country. Even if I must do it alone, I will fight until Iran is free.” The eldest son of the last Shah of Persia, Reza Pahlavi, said this in a video message shared on his X account. Referring to press conferences held in Europe, Pahlavi criticized journalists for not asking him about the killing of protesters or those detained in Iran, saying they “are more interested in criticizing America and Israel, getting news about the killing of Khatami, rather than criticizing the regime.”
