Reza Pahlavi warned Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of a Nuremberg-style trial as calm returned to Tehran after violent protests. In an open letter posted online, the exiled crown prince accused Khamenei of crimes against Iranians. He said the leadership will face justice for bloodshed during the crackdown.
Activists reported at least 4,029 deaths linked to the recent protests. Security forces used force to suppress demonstrations across several cities. Pahlavi told Iranians that the regime has lost control. He urged citizens to remain united and prepare for renewed mass protests.
He said the movement would return stronger and more determined. He described the struggle as a duty to honor victims of repression. The letter followed a hacking incident targeting Iranian state television. The broadcast showed pro-Pahlavi messages and urged security forces to stop attacking civilians.
Iran’s foreign minister lost an invitation to speak at the Davos forum. Organisers cited concerns over the killings. Tensions with the United States remain high. President Donald Trump warned Tehran against harming protesters and conducting mass executions. A US aircraft carrier moved toward routes leading to the Middle East. Analysts view the move as a sign of increased regional pressure.
