Pahlavi is the son of Mohammad, the last Shah of Iran, who fled the country after the Islamic Revolution. Reza positions himself as a representative of the Iranian opposition in exile; he has received support from Israel and the administration of US President Donald Trump. After the start of the US and Israeli war against Iran, Pahlavi offered his candidacy for the post of head of state during the transitional period. At the same time, not all Iranians who disagree with the ayatollah regime support the possible return of the monarch's son to power.
