Reza Pahlavi, son of the last Iranian Shah and one of the main leaders of the opposition to the Tehran regime is in Brussels this week to lobby for more sanctions and economic pressure on Iran. He thinks the Iranian regime is "wounded animal" and will "seek revenge ... willing to go all the way for its own survival."

This Wednesday, he met several members of the European Parliament. At a press conference, he called on the EU to “show the same resolve as it has toward Russian President Vladimir Putin” by uncovering hidden assets and freezing illegal assets linked to the regime.
