In an exclusive sit-down with The Post, Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi — the eldest son of the former Shah of Iran, the last leader before the Islamic Revolution in 1979 saw him swept from power — said the Iranian people were “friends” of Americans, despite their regime’s funding of terror in the Middle East and further afield. “The Iranian people are trying to send this clear message to the outside world that if you want a true partner in peace, it is us who represent the alternative, not this regime which has taken our country hostage in the first place 46 years ago and continues to do that,” Pahlavi said. “When 9/11 happened, the only country in the Middle East where on the streets of the major cities, instead of celebrating the attack, they had candlelight vigils and support and sympathy with the victims was Iran and Iran alone,” he said.
