The son of the late Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi has lived in exile since the 1979 revolution - but now believes the Islamic Republic may be nearing collapse.

In this wide-ranging conversation with The Telegraph’s Roland Oliphant, the Crown Prince outlines why he believes Iran is on the brink of a new uprising, and why he sees himself as a possible figurehead for a democratic transition.

He discusses the legacy of his father’s rule, the lessons of the past, and what he believes Western governments should do as Iran reaches a critical turning point in its history.
