The Tehran prosecutor's office has filed an indictment against Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran's former Shah, and unnamed individuals tied to the Persian-language satellite channels Iran International and Manoto, according to a report carried by the 301 Arab World the source on Saturday evening. The indictment alleges the defendants were involved in the protests that rocked Iran on January 8–9, 2025, and that they helped create the background for the unrest. The case is expected to be transferred to court in the coming days. The charges appear to be part of a broader crackdown on protest-related activism: as The Zioneer reported on June 19, several detainees from the January protests in Shahroud face severe 'Moharebeh' charges that could carry the death penalty. Reza Pahlavi himself, in remarks published on June 25, expressed skepticism about U.S. President Trump's messaging on Iran. The precise charges against Pahlavi and the other defendants have not been detailed in the available source material, nor is it clear whether they are in custody or being tried in absentia.
