International criticism of Reza Pahlavi's statements
The Norwegian Foreign Minister launched a sharp verbal attack today, May 7, 2026, against Reza Pahlavi, the exiled leader of the Iranian opposition. According to reports in the news channels آخرین خبر and کانال اخبار سپاه پاسداران 🏴, the minister expressed deep bewilderment regarding Pahlavi's approach toward the future of Iran.
In the context of the remarks reported in آخرین خبر, the Norwegian minister wondered whether Pahlavi's ambition to reach power justifies, in his view, a military strike on his country: "Does he want bombs to fall on his country and kill people just so he can reach power? This is truly strange and ridiculous."
It is important to note that the sources that covered the event, آخرین خبر and کانال اخبار سپاه پاسداران 🏴, are identified with the official and conservative narrative in Iran, which consistently presents the opposition led by Pahlavi as hostile elements cooperating with foreign powers against the national interests of the Islamic Republic. The reports highlight the minister's words as part of an effort to present Pahlavi as a figure who is not acceptable in the European diplomatic arena.
