Pahlavi has been actively supporting Iranian dissidents, particularly since Israel conducted Operation Rising Lion, striking Iranian military and nuclear facilities.
Iran’s Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi announced on Tuesday that he will “convene a summit of national cooperation” on Iran sometime “in the coming weeks.”
The “gathering will be held in Europe, and invitations are currently being sent out,” Pahlavi wrote on X/Twitter.
“I invite those forces who believe in the three principles of Iran’s territorial integrity, individual freedoms and equality of all citizens, and the separation of religion from government, and who respect the Iranian people’s right to choose the form of their future democracy, to participate in this conference,” he added.
“Our goal is to expand our national cooperation and present a roadmap for a democratic transition and the reconstruction of the country,” he concluded.

Recent anti-regime statements
Pahlavi released a video on June 17 in which he stated that plans are in place for a 100-day transitional period if the Islamic Republic regime falls, adding that “The Islamic Republic has reached its end and is in the process of collapsing.”
On June 23, he held a press conference in Paris, calling for regime change in Iran and announcing that he would be forming an opposition front, referring to this as Iran’s “Berlin Wall moment.”
A trusted source still in Tehran told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday that “The people of Iran were not upset when the attack on the regime began. On the contrary, they rejoiced as regime leaders were eliminated one by one. Their question was never, ‘Why did this war start?’ but rather: ‘Why did it stop? Why didn’t it continue? Why were we abandoned?’”
