2026/02/13Pahlavi’s Munich Roadmap: Republic or Constitutional Monarchy—Voters Decide
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference , Reza Pahlavi said the final political system of Iran— a republic or a constitutional monarchy —should be decided by the people , after a transition process that restores a functioning electoral pathway.

He also claimed the Islamic Republic fuels division and delegitimization campaigns to prevent genuine opposition unity. Pahlavi said the opposition should at minimum converge on four core principles : Iran’s territorial integrity , separation of religion and state , equality of all citizens before the law , and guaranteed individual freedoms —alongside the people’s right to determine their destiny . On the transition mechanics, he outlined a transitional government tasked with enabling elections for a constituent assembly to draft a new constitution, followed by a referendum ; if rejected, the text would be revised and re-submitted until a constitution is approved. The next step would be the first parliamentary and government elections in the future democratic order—at which point the transitional government dissolves and power is transferred to elected institutions , marking the end of the transition and the start of a new political chapter.
