Iran’s exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi splattered with red liquid in Berlin

Police detained the protester after Pahlavi was splashed with red liquid, and video showed him leaving unhurt after a briefing.

  • On Thursday, April 23, 2026, Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi was splattered with red liquid outside Germany's federal press conference building in Berlin after departing a news briefing.
  • The 65-year-old Pahlavi, in exile for nearly 50 years, visited Berlin to criticize the ceasefire between the United States and Iran, arguing it assumes Iranian officials have suddenly become pragmatic.
  • Pahlavi claimed 19 political prisoners were executed in the past two weeks and another 20 sentenced to death, asking, "Will the free world do something, or watch the slaughter in silence?"
  • Police immediately detained the unidentified assailant after the incident, which appeared to involve tomato juice, while Pahlavi appeared unhurt and waved to supporters before departing.
  • German Chancellor Friedrich Merz welcomed the ceasefire extension, urging Tehran to seize the opportunity for diplomatic negotiations to avert further escalation, despite Pahlavi's skepticism regarding the regime's intentions.
