Against the backdrop of the recent killing of US soldiers by Iranian proxies, the Simon Wiesenthal Center will host a speech by RezaPahlavi, the Crown Prince of Iran.

The Crown Prince will discuss recent developments in the Middle East followed by a conversation with Rabbi Abraham Cooper, AssociateDean and Director of Global Social Action Agenda for the Simon Wiesenthal Center and Chairman of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (UCIRF).

The Crown Prince will be asked about the implications of a nuclearized Iran and will offer insights about the attitudes of theIranian people vis-à-vis Israel and the United States as well as his vision for the future of an Iranian people free from the yoke of Ayatollah Khamenei.

Rabbi Cooper noted, “There are very few public figures who understand the inner workings of Iran as much as Crown Prince Pahlavi. Asthe Iranian regime plots the destruction of Israel and continues attacks on US interests, the Crown Prince will offer insights on critical issues of the day impacting his homeland and the MiddleEast.”
