Prince Reza Pahlavi described the Islamic Republic as a jihadist, militant and transnational movement that has turned Iran into a base of global terrorism at the King Suleiman Award ceremony in Krakow, Poland.
Referring to the killing of tens of thousands of people in the January protests, he said that the people of Iran are the first hostages of the Islamic Republic and are fighting against those forces that threaten the Jews and the free world.
The King Suleiman Award was awarded to him by the European Jewish Association in recognition of Prince Reza Pahlavi's support of the Jewish community.
