Reza Pahlavi calls for U.S. humanitarian intervention in Iran at Munich

Exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi attended the Munich Security Conference on February 14-15, 2026, where roughly 250,000 pro-monarchist demonstrators gathered as world leaders met. Pahlavi urged President Trump to intervene militarily in Iran, framing it as a humanitarian action to stop the killing of protesters, and stated signs indicated the Islamic Republic was on the brink of collapse. He told Reuters that US intervention could save lives and called for regime change, citing a disputed death toll of between 7,000 and 30,000 protesters killed since January uprisings began.
