Reza Pahlavi accuses Jamenei of crimes against the Iranian pueblo in a harsh public message

The hereditary prince of Iran in exile, Reza Pahlavi, sent a harsh public message to the Iranian supreme leader, Ali Jamenei, in which he accused him of being responsible for serious crimes against the Iranian pueblo.

In his statement, Pahlavi called Jamenei an “anti-Iranian criminal” and stated that his brothers are “stained with the blood of decades of thousands of Iranians, including children and innocents”. The message was spread through channels linked to the Iranian opposition and quickly went viral on social networks.

Context of the statements

The accusations were produced amid a climate of strong internal tension in Iran, marked by protests, accusations of state repression and warnings from international organizations about violations of human rights. Opposition groups hold the top leadership of the regime directly responsible for the use of lethal force against protesters and massive arrests.

Reza Pahlavi, son of the last shaman of Iran, has consolidated himself in recent years as one of the most visible figures of the opposition abroad, defending a peaceful political transition and a referent for Iranians to decide the form of government of the country.

Reactions and repercussion

Until now, Iranian authorities have not officially responded to Pahlavi's statements. However, state media suelen deescalate the opposition in exile, accusing it of acting in coordination with foreign powers.

Analysts say that this type of message seeks to mobilize international public opinion and reinforce the narrative of direct responsibility of Iranian leadership in internal violence, at a time when Iran faces increasing diplomatic pressure.

Scene unfolding

The rhetorical exchange reflects the deep political polarization surrounding the future of Iran. While the regime maintains iron internal control, the opposition in exile intensifies its calls for a definitive break with the current system.

The situation remains dynamic, with international attention focused on the evolution of protests and possible diplomatic reactions.
