Event Summary

Reza Pahlavi, the exiled Crown Prince of Iran, was splattered with red liquid in Germany — Berlin after a news briefing where he criticized the ceasefire between the United States and Iran. Pahlavi, who supports US-Israeli military intervention in the Middle East, urged European countries to do more to support Iranian people fighting for democracy, claiming Iran had executed 19 political prisoners. The German government, led by Friedrich Merz, declined to meet with Pahlavi during his visit and instead welcomed the extension of the US-Iran ceasefire, emphasizing diplomatic negotiations.
