Reza Pahlavi receives EJA award, warns against Iran's global reach at Auschwitz memorial ceremony

Pahlavi reflected on the historic ties between the Persian and Jewish peoples while emphasizing the shared responsibility of democratic nations to confront tyranny and extremism.

Exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi received the esteemed King Solomon Award during an EJA memorial dinner in Krakow, Poland, ahead of a delegation visit to Auschwitz. The event gathered global diplomats, Jewish leaders, and journalists to discuss rising antisemitism and global security threats. Emphasizing shared responsibility against tyranny, Pahlavi warned that Iran's regime poses an existential threat to global stability and human dignity.

He drew parallels between historical fascism and the current Iranian regime, cautioning against ignoring explicit genocidal intentions. Pahlavi called for a moral awakening, urging ideological extremism to be checked before it expands globally. He proposed elevating diplomatic agreements into a framework called the Cyrus Accords, emphasizing a secular, democratic Iran as a cornerstone of regional security and Judeo-Persian partnership.

During the EJA memorial service, Pahlavi expressed solidarity with the Jewish community, standing with them to ensure a future of peace and brotherhood, and an end to evil.
