"Give the Iranians a fair chance to fight for their freedom," says son of Iranian Shah to VRT NWS

Reza Pahlavi, son of Iran's last Shah, advocates for stronger action from Europe and the US against the Iranian regime during his Brussels visit. He emphasizes the need for international support for Iranians fighting for freedom, stating that decades of concessions have failed. Pahlavi, who does not seek personal power, aims to create conditions for a democratic Iran. His visit faces criticism from some Iranian organizations in Belgium, who argue he represents only one voice in the opposition and question his distancing from his father's authoritarian legacy. Pahlavi insists that real change must come from the Iranian people themselves, who have already paid a heavy price for their freedoms.
