Exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi is urging President Trump to intervene in Iran as anti-government protests intensify and the regime implements a nationwide internet blackout. Pahlavi claims Trump's previous threats of intervention have deterred the regime's violence and believes the current blackout is a prelude to a brutal crackdown on protesters. He called on Iranians to continue protesting and reiterated his belief that the regime is nearing collapse due to widespread unrest across over a hundred cities. The protests, involving various segments of Iranian society, have resulted in at least 36 deaths, including protesters and security forces. Pahlavi's plea follows Supreme Leader Khamenei's accusation that protesters are acting to please the U.S. President.
