Reza Pahlavi Becomes Prominent Voice in Protests Against Iran's Regime

Reza Pahlavi, the Exiled Voice of Protests in Iran

Reza Pahlavi, 65, son of the last Shah of Iran, has emerged as a significant figure in calls for continued protests within the country. Human rights groups estimate that in the last two weeks approximately 2,500 people have been killed as the authoritarian regime attempts to quell demonstrations. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump has not ruled out the option of military action against Iran due to the violent repression of the protests. But who is Pahlavi, and what support does he have among Iranians?
