Exiled Iranian Princess Noor Pahlavi has made a passionate appeal to President Donald Trump, asking for his help to “save” her country. According to Fox News, she believes Iran has never been closer to overthrowing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, even claiming that Iranian citizens are showing their support for Trump.
Pahlavi shared her thoughts in an interview, explaining that her “heart breaks” for Iran. This is incredibly poignant because she has never actually set foot in the country herself. Her grandfather, the former Shah of Iran, was deposed almost 47 years ago, so she’s been in exile her entire life. She described the current situation as a government “waging war on its own citizens,” a government that’s supposed to protect them.
She firmly believes that the current regime has never been weaker and that this moment is crucial for change. Pahlavi also stated that people truly listened when the president told them that help was on the way and encouraged them to continue their street protests. In fact, she even claimed that people have named streets after Trump and are holding up signs with his face, begging him for help because they are fighting the government empty-handed.
Well, Trump does love having things named after him
Meanwhile, Trump’s administration has been steadily increasing U.S. military presence near Iran for several weeks now. The president himself has openly discussed the possibility of military action. Just recently, he mentioned he is “considering” a limited military strike on Iran to pressure Iran’s leaders into agreeing to a nuclear deal.
Reports suggest that potential U.S. military strikes on Iran could be quite specific, potentially targeting individuals or even aiming for regime change. Two U.S. officials, speaking anonymously, indicated these are options that have emerged during the planning stages, should Trump give the order.
When a reporter asked Trump last week if he wanted regime change in Iran, he responded by saying it “seems like that would be the best thing that could happen.” He also suggested that the window for a breakthrough in talks with Iran is quickly closing. He gave Iran a deadline of “10, 15 days, pretty much maximum” to reach an agreement. He then added a stark warning, saying, “We’re either going to get a deal, or it’s going to be unfortunate for them.”
Princess Pahlavi’s plea, coupled with Trump’s escalating rhetoric and military posturing, certainly paints a picture of heightened tension. Her claims of widespread public support for Trump in Iran add another layer to this complex and rapidly developing situation, emphasizing the urgency she feels for intervention.
