Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi said he will find the best location for an Israeli embassy in Tehran once the current regime falls, according to a Persian-language the source. Pahlavi, a son of the last Shah and a prominent opposition figure, has previously expressed support for Israel and engaged with Israeli officials.
Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, the son of the late Shah and a leading voice in the Iranian opposition, made the statement on Thursday, vowing to host a 'nice Israeli embassy' in Tehran once the Islamic Republic is replaced. The comment was reported by a Persian-language the source. Pahlavi has increasingly positioned himself as a bridge between the Iranian opposition and Israel. As The Zioneer has previously reported, he spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during Senator Lindsey Graham's funeral in July, and met with Jewish leader Sylvan Adams in Paris to discuss a democratic Iran and renewed ties. The statement reflects the opposition's long-standing vision of restoring diplomatic relations between Iran and Israel, which were severed after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
