At the Munich Security Conference, Mathias Döpfner meets Prince Reza Pahlavi, son of Iran’s last Shah and a leading voice of the Iranian opposition. They discuss the future of Iran, the possibility of regime change, and the geopolitical consequences for Europe, the U.S., Israel, and the Middle East.
Pahlavi argues that diplomacy with Tehran has failed after decades of negotiations. In his view, only regime change can bring stability - led by the Iranian people, supported by targeted international action against the regime’s instruments of repression.
He addresses tough questions: What is his message to President Trump? Has Western appeasement strengthened the regime? Could a democratic Iran become a strategic ally of Israel and the West? And does he seek power himself - or only a transitional role toward free elections?
A conversation about revolution, freedom, and the future of Iran.
