Reza Pahlavi, the exiled crown prince of Iran, faced an attack in Berlin when he was splattered with red liquid after leaving a press conference where he criticized the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran. Pahlavi, 65, the son of Iran's last shah, expressed skepticism about the Iranian government's willingness to change its behavior, stating that diplomacy has been attempted enough times without success. He urged European nations to increase their support for the Iranian people, citing alarming reports of 19 political prisoners executed and 20 more sentenced to death in recent weeks. The attacker was quickly apprehended by police as Pahlavi continued to advocate for democracy in Iran, positioning himself as a potential leader if the current regime were to fall.
