The son of the last Shah of Iran demanded that Europe seize the Iranian embassies

European countries should seize Iranian embassies to help overthrow the authorities of the Islamic Republic. This was stated on March 4 by the exiled former Crown Prince of the country, Reza Pahlavi, during a conversation with Russian prank journalists Vladimir Kuznetsov (Vovan) and Alexey Stolyarov (Lexus) as part of the "Vovan and Lexus Show."

"Some measures, including diplomatic steps such as expelling diplomats, seizing embassies and the like, will be of great importance," Pahlavi said in a video posted on the pranksters' Telegram channel.

The former crown Prince also called for increased economic pressure on Iran. At the same time, according to him, it is important not only to put pressure on Tehran, but also to prepare an alternative structure for the interim administration.

In the conversation, Pahlavi confirmed his readiness to lead the country after the "collapse of the regime." He also spoke about contacts with representatives of the United States and Israel on the issue of neutralizing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and other law enforcement agencies to seize power.

"Israel definitely supports this position, realizing that there is an existential threat to it as long as this regime continues to exist. I have spoken directly with Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Herzog. We have a very good dialogue with them," he added.

Rake-in: how the US attempts to change power in Iran ended

Back in the 20th century, Americans twice helped overthrow politicians in this country and each time they lost.

In January, former Russian Ambassador to Iran Alexander Maryasov noted that no one would allow Reza Pahlavi to lead the Iranian state. He also noted that the shah's son "outshines everyone" in terms of media influence during the protests.

On March 2, US President Donald Trump announced that the US armed forces were planning a "large" wave of strikes against Iran in the near future. He also hinted at some actions besides the strikes that Washington is carrying out to overthrow the government in Iran, but did not disclose details.
