Reza Pahlavi Calls for US Military Intervention in Iran

Reza Pahlavi, a prominent Iranian opposition figure and son of the last Shah of Iran, has called for US military intervention in Iran, arguing that it could save lives and hasten the downfall of the regime. He believes the Iranian government is on the verge of collapse and that an attack could weaken or accelerate its fall. Pahlavi made these statements on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, noting that protests in Iran demonstrate the regime's weakness. He argues that negotiations with the clerical leaders of Tehran are futile and that US intervention is the only way to return power to the people.
