Iran International:

Israel supports exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi as Iranians trust and back him, Science Minister Gila Gamliel told Iran International, in the first explicit endorsement by an Israeli cabinet member of the exiled prince’s push for regime change.

Gamliel said Israel backs Prince Pahlavi, calling him a figure trusted by the Iranian people.

“The choice belongs to the Iranian nation, but we see that Iranians believe in Reza Pahlavi and support him. We in Israel also support him, because we see the people of Iran standing with him,” she told Iran International’s Babak Es'haghi.

Pahlavi traveled to Israel in 2023 at the invitation of then-intelligence minister Gamliel and met Benjamin Netanyahu. However, this is the first time a Netanyahu cabinet member is publicly expressing Israeli support for Pahlavi to overthrow the Islamic Republic.

In June, Israel commenced heavy bombing of Iran’s nuclear and military sites and was preparing a final wave of attacks aimed at toppling Iran’s ruling system when US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire, The Washington Post reported in July, citing Israeli and American officials involved in the operation.
