Australian opposition leaders invite exiled Iranian crown prince for talks on regime change
Four senior members of Australia’s opposition coalition said they have formally invited Reza Pahlavi to visit the country and discuss a peaceful political transition in Iran.
Four high-ranking figures from Australia’s opposition coalition publicly backed Reza Pahlavi’s involvement in any future Iranian political transition and extended a formal invitation for him to come to Australia. They intend to hold a virtual discussion in the near term and are arranging a personal visit, though details remain undisclosed. Shadow ministers described the move as backing peaceful change and criticized the Islamic Republic for harming its own people and the wider region.
They argued that engaging with Pahlavi could help shape dialogue toward a new Iranian government and signal Australian solidarity with Iranian pro-democracy activists. The coalition cited historical examples of supporting opposition figures in other countries as a precedent for this outreach.
