Iranian exiled prince urges UK to confront Revolutionary Guard's threat
Iran’s exiled prince has called on the UK government to take stronger action against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), warning that it poses a direct threat to British citizens.
“The UK cannot allow the IRGC to threaten British people on British soil,” Prince Reza Pahlavi posted Tuesday on X, calling on Europe to “wake up” and increase pressure on Tehran.
Pahlavi made the remarks after a meeting with former UK home secretary Priti Patel, whom he praised for having recognized the threat “firsthand.”
"The solution is to put maximum pressure on the regime so the Iranian people can end its reign of terror."
His comments came a day after his visit to the House of Commons, where he took part in a cross-party roundtable on Iran.
“I’m fighting so that the people of Iran, too, can have the parliamentary democracy they deserve,” he wrote, thanking MPs for their support.
Pahlavi also posted a message of solidarity with former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, saying they agreed on the need to end the “barbaric Islamic Republic.”
“One day soon I hope to welcome you to Tehran,” he added.
