Pahlavi Visit to Israel Stirs Hope for New Era in Iran, Middle East

JERUSALEM, Israel – An amazing revelation unfolded in Israel this week: that Iran could potentially see a radical change in government. On a stop in Tel Aviv during his first trip to Israel, the son of Iran's former Shah, Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, told journalists it wouldn't take foreign armies to overthrow the Tehran regime, just international support from key nations. "I have often argued that the threat is not the gun, but the 'finger on the trigger,'" Pahlavi said, rejecting the idea advanced in Washington that as Iran inches closer to a nuclear weapon and Israel considers a possible military strike, the international community can negotiate its way out of the threat.
