Lady Yasmin Pahlavi said in a video she posted on her Instagram account on Friday, November 6, that the Frankfurt police informed her and Prince Reza Pahlavi that due to threats from the Islamic Republic, they cannot attend or give a speech at the gathering of Iranians in that city on Saturday.
He said the police had informed them that if Prince Reza Pahlavi attended the rally, the Islamic Republic might retaliate by targeting the people in the crowd. Mrs. Yasmin Pahlavi, who emphasizes the necessity of protecting the lives of the participants, cast doubt on this decision and said: "When do terrorist threats determine who is allowed to speak in a democratic country? " On Saturday, November 7, the Friedrich Neumann Foundation's "Freedom Prize 2026" is to be awarded to the people of Iran at the Paul Church in Frankfurt, and Prince Reza Pahlavi will receive this prize on behalf of the Iranian people. At the same time, there will be a rally in East Park with about 30,000 registered participants. A day before the rally in Frankfurt, Belgian Defense Minister Theo Franken said Iranian officials had threatened Belgium with "serious consequences" if Prince Reza Pahlavi gave a speech in Brussels. Despite the threat, Friday's lecture was held at the Royal Military Academy of Belgium.
