Son of Iran’s last shah asks US and Israel to spare civilian infrastructure

Exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi called on the U.S. and Israel to “continue targeting the regime and its apparatus of repression, while sparing the civilian infrastructure Iranians will need to rebuild our country.”

“Iran’s civilian infrastructure belongs to the Iranian people and to the future of a free Iran,” he wrote on X.

Trump has threatened to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants if the country does not open the Strait of Hormuz.

Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on X that “delirious threats on the battlefield” are having the opposite impact by strengthening Iran’s unity and illustrating Trump’s desperation.  — AP
