                                           Reza Pahlavi (born 31 October 1960), 66 years old

The 62nd Munich Security Conference (MSC) 2026 is taking place from February 13–15, 2026, in Munich, Germany, with high-level discussions focusing on global security challenges, European defense, and the transatlantic partnership. Key attendees include German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and other international leaders. 

Here is Reza as the child Prince.  His father was the Shah of Iran, and a friend of the USA and Israel.  As a cadet of the Imperial Iranian Air Force, he moved to the United States for pilot training at Reese Air Force Base in 1978 when 18. He was trained as a pilot; his first solo flight was at the age of 11, and he obtained his license a year later.

His father was overthrown and the monarchy was abolished by the Iranian Revolution led by Ruhollah Khomeini. In 1980,at age 20,  following the death of his father in exile in Cairo, Egypt, Reza Pahlavi declared himself shah of Iran, styling himself "Reza Shah II", and actively participated in political activities opposing the Islamic Republic from abroad.

Khomeini, born September 24, 1902, took over because certain things were seen to be happening.  Iranians were becoming too modern like the rest of the world in the religious eyes.   The 1979 Khomeini Revolution resulted from widespread discontent with Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi’s autocratic rule, forced modernization (I doubt very much if you force someone to be modern;  this comes from Khomeini;)  and inequality, uniting diverse opposition groups under Ayatollah Khomeini’s religious leadership. Key factors included severe economic strain, violent crackdowns on protesters, and the Shah's weakened health, leading to his exile and the establishment of an Islamic republic. 

Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini was an Iranian cleric, politician, political theorist and revolutionary who founded the Islamic Republic of Iran and served as its first supreme leader from 1979 until his death in 1989.   

 As a Shiʿi scholar and teacher, Khomeini produced numerous writings on Islamic philosophy, law, and ethics, but it was his outspoken opposition to Iran’s ruler, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, his denunciations of Western influences, and his uncompromising advocacy of Islamic purity that won him his initial following in Iran. In the 1950s he was acclaimed as an ayatollah, a major religious leader, and by the early 1960s he had received the title of grand ayatollah, thereby becoming one of the supreme religious leaders of the Shiʿi community in Iran. By the early 60's, the Shah brought in modernization with the WHITE REVOLUTION, AND opposition to the government united conservative clerics, the secular left, and others, who often found common ground under a banner of Shiʿi identity, SO IT WAS THE MODERNS VS SHI'I RELIGION OF ISLAM.  

 Despite being in exile since 1964, Khomeini became the focal point for the opposition, calling for strikes, civil disobedience, and the overthrow of the Shah.

Exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has been invited to the 2026 Munich Security Conference, with reports indicating he is expected to appear as a speaker at associated demonstrations on February 14, 2026. He has declared this date a global day of action for the "Lion and Sun" movement.   He was heard on Tousi.tv saying he was planning on attending.  

•  Following an invitation to the conference, Munich police anticipate Pahlavi's involvement in protest rallies, which are expected to be among the largest in recent years. 
•  The focus is to press the international community for support regarding the situation in Iran.
• This follows earlier 2025 reports of diplomatic pressure regarding his invitations, but the 2026 invitation was confirmed as of early February. 

The event coincides with the 2026 Munich Security Conference, which brings international leaders together, including delegations from the Middle East.

Exiled Iranian crown prince reflects on 'defining' moment as protests spread

Exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi discusses surging protests in Iran, the regime’s internet blackout and his plan for a transition and free elections as tensions rise between Iran and the United States. 
Update: Friday 13, 2026:  As of February 2026, Iran is experiencing intense, widespread anti-regime protests characterized by a violent, unprecedented crackdown from authorities, with reports indicating thousands killed, including 7,003 in recent unrest. Despite the severe, often deadly, response from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the regime faces sustained, deep-seated public rage over economic ruin and repression. 
Protest Status: The protests, fueled by extreme economic hardship and long-standing dissatisfaction, have led to significant unrest across the country. (The Prince in USA has answered and is leading the people.  Heplans to join them shortly.)  

• Violent Crackdown: Security forces, including the IRGC, have engaged in a deadly crackdown, with activists reporting over 7,000 deaths.
• Communication Blackouts: Authorities have used internet shutdowns to hide the scale of the repression.

The position of the Jewish Population in Iran shocking to the Rest Of Us

 Nadene Goldfoot                                           

The position of the Jewish population in Iran is shocking to the rest of us.

Since June 12, when Israel started bombing Iran, Nazila—an Iranian Jewish expatriate who asked me to withhold her last name for fear of regime retaliation against her relatives in Iran—had been anxious about the welfare of her family members. The text came from Nazila’s sister, who, along with her husband and children, is among the roughly 9,000 Jews who still live in Iran. After the escalation of hostilities with Israel, and the wave of arrests that Iran has conducted throughout the country, several dozen Jews were detained, according to human-rights-agency sources. Authorities have interrogated them, scoured their social-media and messaging-app activity, and warned them to avoid contact with any Israeli citizen or relatives abroad.                           

      Iranian Jews burning Israel's flag caused by Ayatollah regime

Jews maintain a presence within the Islamic Republic of Iran—the "Ayatollah regime"—as a recognized, protected religious minority, but they operate under strict constraints that require navigating the regime’s anti-Zionist ideology and adhering to Islamic laws. While their community has shrunk from over 100,000 to an estimated 8,000–15,000 since the 1979 revolution, those who remain are integrated into Iranian society, though they often do not openly advertise their identity and must remain politically neutral or pro-regime to stay safe. 

Here is how Jews are a part of the Ayatollah regime:

• Constitutional Recognition: Iran’s constitution recognizes Jews as a "People of the Book," granting them the right to practice their religion, operate synagogues, and run Hebrew schools.
• Mandated Parliamentary Seat: The Iranian Parliament (Majles) has a reserved seat for a Jewish representative. This representative, such as Homayoun Sameh elected in 2020, ensures the community has a voice in government, although this role is often seen as largely ceremonial and compliant with the regime.

• Distinction Between Jews and Zionists: Ayatollah Khomeini established a policy separating the Jewish community from "Zionists" (Israel), which has generally protected Iranian Jews from being treated as enemies of the state, provided they do not openly support Israel.
• Forced Loyalty and Anti-Zionism: Jews in Iran are often coerced into demonstrating loyalty to the regime. They have been required to attend pro-regime rallies, condemn Israeli actions, and sometimes chant "Death to Israel" at school. Jewish leaders often publicly criticize Zionism to ensure the safety of their community.
• Adherence to Sharia Law: As non-Muslims, Jews are subject to Islamic, or Sharia, law. This means they cannot hold senior government positions, work as judges, or serve as military commanders. They are also subjected to discriminatory legal practices, such as different legal penalties in cases involving Muslims and non-Muslims. 
  
  
  

In summary, Jews in Iran are part of the system by living as a "protected minority" (dhimmi),or 2nd class citizens,  accepting limitations on their political and civil rights, and publicly separating themselves from Israel while participating in the life of the Islamic Republic. 

Now we can understand how they have been held for fear of their

lives and how they are breaking out of this brain-washing today.

After criticizing Iranian president, Jewish representative in parliament makes about face.  

Homayoun Sameh Najafabadi is an Iranian politician. He has served as the Jewish representative in the Islamic Consultative Assembly since 2020. According to Voice of America, Sameh said in 2024 that "Iranian government aid to the Jewish community's synagogues, schools, restaurants and social clubs has "increased greatly" in recent years."  One can easily see how the Jews have been used.

Homayoun Sameh expressed unqualified support for the regime in Tehran, and also held a sign that read: 'The day of the Islamic Revolution is the day of the triumph of light over darkness'; Meanwhile, two Jews arrested during the protests were released, another Jew is still detained.  Homayoun Sameh Najafabadi, the Jewish representative in Iran’s Parliament, announced in an open letter to the Iranian Jewish community that he has been summoned in recent weeks by intelligence bodies of the Islamic Republic of Iran. According to him, the reason for these summonses was “the comments and likes posted by some community members on Persian-language Israeli channels.” So he was caught by the government.

ATTN: Israel's Answer To Trump's Meeting With Ayatollah Regime Over Nuclear Missiles and Such: WOW!!!

Nadene Goldfoot                                     

He was the international spokesperson of the Israel Defense Forces from 2017 to 2021 and again in 2023. Conricus is a senior fellow at the think tank Foundation for Defense of Democracies, based in Washington, DC, in the United States. He was an officer in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), in which he served for 24 years before returning to duty as a reservist in 2023.                      

                 Israeli Air Force

At 12:51 pm after lunch today, I heard CBN in Israel make an announcement from Lt. Col Jonathan Conricus, my favorite speaker for Israel, announce that Israel just pulled off the hardest assignment of all;  NO NO NO, to their answer of dismantling their nuclear program, and Israel went ahead and Hit Iran's Nuclear Sites again as well as a lot of other places as well. Trump was told of the plans before.  Israel was hitting with American ammunition exactly as they should be used.  This can turn into war if their ego gets in the way, or let it go and accepts their position today.  

Their goal was successful which also had a two-fold purpose;  to help the young Revolutionaries as much as they could.  In fact, much of what they accomplished was aided by some of them.  Both will benefit the disappearance of the Ayatollah's government.  The police force is joining the young Revolutionaries.  

The Houthis in Yemen shot a missile at Israel who shot it down.  Hopefully, that was their last one.  

CBN was in awe of Israel's Air Force and Mossad working together to pull this off.  They feel it will be studied by many in the future. 

In an interview to news agency Reuters, President Trump said he had initially tried to delay an Israeli strike, giving Iran ample time for diplomacy and dialogue, but added that he had given a 60-day ultimatum to Tehran, "And today was the 61st day," he said.  Before it started, Benjamin Netanyahu was at at  the wall putting a slip of paper between the stones, as is the custom.  He also ended his stay with a prayer.  Based on reports from June 2025, former President Donald Trump stated he gave Iran a 60-day ultimatum to reach a nuclear deal, and Israel launched strikes on Iran on the 61st day, which was June 13, 2025. The Ultimatum: Trump claimed he gave Iran a 60-day deadline to "make a deal" regarding their nuclear program following negotiations that began in mid-April 2025.

  “The regime in Tehran is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocents: Iranians, Arabs, and Israelis. Christians, Muslims, and Jews,” said Reza Pahlavi, the exiled Crown Prince of Iran.

TBN: BREAKING NEWS: ISRAEL at WAR | TBN Israel w/ Yair Pinto, Erick Stakelbeck

                                                                           

Finally at 6:41pm I find:  As of February 11, 2026, reports indicate intensified military tensions, with Israel and the U.S. having launched precision airstrikes against Iranian targets following increased threats to Israel's security, specifically related to Iran's missile programs. This follows a previous, significant 12-day conflict in June 2025 where nuclear sites were targeted.  (US was not in attack;  said if Iran hit israel they would backIsrael.  Iran has made the threat now that this is war.  )
