SAEDNEWS: A newly circulated video captures exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi’s royal aspirations falling flat as he waves to what appears to be a deserted boulevard, underscoring his waning relevance.
According to Saed News, a recent clip has reignited debate over Reza Pahlavi’s role in Iran’s opposition movement after the exiled prince was filmed cheerfully greeting an apparently empty street. In the footage, shared across social media platforms on Wednesday, Pahlavi—son of the late Shah and former queen Farah—raises his hand in regal salute and pauses expectantly as if awaiting applause that never comes.
Critics argue that the moment symbolizes Pahlavi’s stubborn refusal to accept his “political death,” branding the gesture as a tone‑deaf display of monarchical nostalgia. Far from rallying crowds, the video highlights a stark disconnect between the dynasty’s bygone imperial pageantry and today’s realities.
