Exiled Iranian figure Reza Pahlavi is facing public outrage after expressing support for Israel's military actions and calling on Iranians to rise against their government. Speaking at a press conference in Paris just before a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, Pahlavi's comments drew sharp criticism. Rather than backing his call, many Iranians responded with renewed national unity. His failure to condemn Israeli attacks that killed hundreds of civilians, along with his opulent lifestyle, past associations with dictatorship, and disregard for Islamic sites like Al-Aqsa, have severely damaged his credibility, according to analysts.
