Iran's Exiled Crown Prince: The Iranian People Feel Betrayed by Trump's Deal

After American and Israeli airstrikes killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in February, many wondered whether Iran's theocratic regime was finally facing collapse. That came after tens of thousands of protesters had died earlier in the year rising up against the regime. But four months later, the US has signed an interim peace deal extending the ceasefire between the two countries. That deal has drawn criticism from Donald Trump's Republican Party and Reza Pahlavi - the son of the last Shah who the ayatollahs deposed in order to take power, forcing him into exile for the last 46 years.
In this episode, the Mail's Middle East correspondent Natalie Lisbona sits down with Mr. Pahlavi to discuss what the deal means for ordinary Iranians. Pahlavi argues the regime cannot be reformed, only replaced, and warns that rewarding it with sanctions relief and billions in unfrozen funds provides a financial lifeline that will simply fuel its proxies abroad while executions and repression continue at home.
