Reza Pahlavi, a key figure in the Iranian opposition and son of the former shah, has called on the international community to increase political, economic, and military pressure on Tehran.

Pahlavi's plea comes amidst ongoing protests in Iran, with claims of support from some military and security factions despite a severe crackdown on demonstrations.

This call to action highlights the fragmented nature of the opposition, which lacks a cohesive presence within Iran, while Pahlavi positions himself as essential for a stable transition.
