Exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi applauds the UN’s reimposition of sanctions on Tehran, calling it a long-overdue rejection of the regime’s terror, nuclear extortion, and oppression of the Iranian people.
Iran’s exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi on Sunday praised the United Nations’ reimposition of snapback sanctions on the Islamic Republic, framing the move as long-awaited justice against a regime he described as criminal and irredeemable.
“The UN’s reimposition of snapback sanctions on the Islamic Republic is a long-overdue acknowledgment that the regime is incapable of reform or rehabilitation, despite the international community’s best efforts,” Pahlavi said in a statement.
He placed responsibility squarely on Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, blaming his dictatorship for dragging Iran “from prosperity to isolation” over the past 46 years.
While stressing that sanctions alone cannot end the regime’s aggression, Pahlavi emphasized their strategic value:
- They cut off vital resources used for domestic repression
- They limit funding for terrorist proxies abroad, including Hezbollah and Hamas
- They send “an unmistakable signal” that nuclear blackmail and appeasement will no longer be tolerated
Calling the measure a victory for advocates of maximum pressure, Pahlavi urged free nations to go further:
- Designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization globally
- Isolate Tehran diplomatically and economically
- Support the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom and democracy
“The Iranian people deserve no less,” Pahlavi declared, adding that sanctions must be paired with international solidarity to finally bring down the world’s leading state sponsor of terror.
For Israel and its allies, the move reinforces what Jerusalem has long argued: only uncompromising pressure on Tehran can curb its nuclear ambitions and weaken its terror empire.
