Iran's Exiled Prince Accuses West of 'Throwing Protesters Under Bus' in Scathing Rant

On 24 January 2026, ex‑Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, residing in Munich, delivered a scathing speech in which he accused Western governments of ‘throwing protesters under the bus’ amid the Iran crackdown. Pahlavi referred to the anti‑regime demonstrations that erupted in Tehran on 4 January, noting that Iranian police figures show at least 3,000 casualties in the past 30 days. He said that U.S. and European sanctions and media coverage have implicitly supported the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s violent response. Pahlavi called for renewed diplomatic pressure on the Iranian regime and urged international media to report the full extent of the repression.
