Government spokesperson Kornelius stated that the expectation is for the Iranian populace to determine its own leadership. Pahlavi, a prominent figure in the Iranian opposition, is scheduled to meet with Bundestag foreign policy officials, including committee chairman Laschet (CDU), despite his controversial standing within the opposition. Pahlavi’s father was overthrown in 1979, leading to the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Currently residing in exile in the United States, Pahlavi’s reception reflects ongoing divisions within the Iranian opposition.
