Iran’s Exiled Crown Prince Attacked In Berlin After Ceasefire Criticism
by Stefan J. Bos, Worthy News Europe Bureau Chief
BERLIN (Worthy News) – German authorities have launched an investigation after a protester threw red liquid over Iran’s exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi in Berlin, where he had denounced a ceasefire between the United States and Iran.
Video footage reviewed by Worthy News showed a young man being restrained by security personnel after the substance struck the back of the 65-year-old’s neck and jacket. The liquid was believed to be tomato juice.
Some unverified reports suggested the attacker may have links to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, but Worthy News could not independently verify those claims, and German authorities have not released the suspect’s identity.
Pahlavi had just departed a news briefing at Germany’s federal press conference building when the incident occurred. He appeared unharmed and continued his scheduled program, his team said.
ATTACK PROBE
German police said the suspect was detained at the scene and had not previously come to the attention of authorities. Investigators said they are examining possible charges, including bodily harm and property damage.
Speaking shortly before Thursday’s incident, Pahlavi warned that the ceasefire relies on misplaced expectations about Tehran’s leadership.
“I don’t see that happening,” he said. “I’m not saying that diplomacy should not be given a chance, but I think diplomacy has been given enough chance.”
The ceasefire, announced by U.S. President Donald J. Trump, is aimed at easing tensions after weeks of conflict. However, Pahlavi argued it risks prolonging the current system in Iran.
CEASEFIRE DOUBTS
Pahlavi has backed U.S. and Israeli pressure on Iran’s leadership and urged Western nations to take a firmer stance against the Islamic Republic.
During his Berlin visit, he said executions and repression were continuing. He claimed that 19 political prisoners were executed by Iranian authorities in the past two weeks, with another 20 people sentenced to death.
“Will the free world do something, or watch the slaughter in silence?” he asked.
He has also highlighted the plight of religious minorities, including Christians and Jews, in previous statements, calling for greater international support for freedom of belief in Iran.
RIGHTS AND PRESSURE
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz welcomed the extension of the ceasefire.
“This presents an important opportunity to resume diplomatic negotiations in Islamabad with the aim of making peace and averting further escalation of the war,” he said. “Tehran should seize this opportunity.”
Pahlavi has also expressed concern that the current situation could lead to continued suffering under Iran’s Islamic leadership, which he has described as hostile toward Israel and destabilizing for the region.
Pahlavi has lived in exile since the Iranian Revolution in 1979, which forced his father, the late shah, from power and led to the establishment of the Islamic Republic.
Now based in the United States, he has spent decades positioning himself as a potential alternative leader for Iran, though it remains unclear how much support he commands inside the country.
