The Crown Prince of Iran in exile, Reza PahlaviOn Friday, he prophesied about the immediate future of his country. At a press conference in Washington, Pahlavi asserted that the current Islamic Republic has lost "all legitimacy" and that its fall is no longer a hypothesis, but a certainty that will occur "very soon." According to the resurgent opposition leader, the ayatollahs' regime does not act as a national government but as a foreign occupation that "wears clerical garb" and is in a state of utter desperation, acting like a "wounded animal" clinging to power through violence against its own citizens.
