Iran’s exiled Crown Prince attacked

Police in Berlin have detained several individuals following the assault on the Iranian monarchist leader.

The liquid, which appeared to be tomato juice or red paint, left the 65-year-old Pahlavi unhurt but underscored the intense political passions surrounding his visit.

Pahlavi has been calling on European governments to halt all talks with the regime in Tehran, labeling the current diplomatic efforts as 'appeasement.' His presence in Germany has sparked controversy, with federal ministers refusing to meet him to avoid further straining relations with Tehran during the current energy crisis.
