Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran's last shah, criticized the US-Iran framework deal, claiming it merely allows the Tehran regime to regroup and rearm. He emphasized that any agreement that keeps the current regime in power is not a true peace deal, but a prelude to future conflict. Pahlavi called for the end of the Islamic Republic as the only path to stability in the region, asserting that the Iranian people are the regime's most defiant opponents.
