Iran’s exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi on Sunday warned against any move to appoint a successor to the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, declaring that such an attempt would lack legitimacy and deepen the crisis gripping the Islamic Republic.
In a statement posted on X, Pahlavi described Khamenei as “the Zahhak of our time, the demonic figure who just a few weeks ago issued the order to slaughter tens of thousands of Iran’s finest sons and daughters,” adding that he “has been eliminated.”
