Iranian opposition figure and former crown prince Reza Pahlavi criticized the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding in an interview with the Daily Mail, saying Iranians feel betrayed by President Trump. Pahlavi said the money Tehran receives from the deal will go to Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, and that tens of thousands were killed for protesting the regime, not for a nuclear deal and the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian opposition figure and former crown prince Reza Pahlavi criticized the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding in an interview with the Daily Mail on Friday. He said Iranians feel betrayed by President Trump, and that the deal sends money to Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis rather than serving the interests of Iranian citizens protesting the regime. Pahlavi stated that tens of thousands of Iranians were killed for protesting — not for a nuclear agreement or the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. His remarks add a prominent opposition voice to a growing wave of criticism of the deal, which Hezbollah has formally endorsed and which U.S. envoy Waltz has said Trump intends to finalize. Other critics have included former U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and analyst Yaakov Bardugo.
