Reza Pahlavi, the exiled Crown Prince and son of the last Shah, called on the international community to make the Revolutionary Guards a target. He stated this during a press conference in Washington, adding: "The Islamic Republic is not the government of Iran. It is a foreign occupying force that has hijacked our homeland. This regime has invaded Iran itself using foreign terrorists, Hezbollah fighters, Iraqi militias and other mercenaries to slaughter the Iranian people."
