Reza Pahlavi, the oldest son of the former Iranian Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who escaped Iran during the revolution in 1979, will reportedly be visiting "Israel" to commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day, according to Israeli i24NEWS.

In a statement on his official Twitter page, Pahlavi said he will be visiting the Israeli entity to "deliver a message of friendship from the Iranian people."

I am traveling to Israel to deliver a message of friendship from the Iranian people, engage Israeli water experts on ways to address the regime’s abuse of Iran’s natural resources and pay respects to the victims of the Holocaust on Yom HaShoah.

Back in September, during an interview with i24NEWS, he called on the West to overthrow Iran. "Resources should be allocated to support the Iranian people to get rid of this regime," Pahlavi said in the interview.

In the interview, Pahlavi proposed covert tactics of using dissident elements in Iranian communities to destabilize Iran rather than employing direct military intervention.

Back in March, Iran and Saudi Arabia agreed to restore diplomatic relations and reopen missions in respective countries after a series of talks brokered in Beijing, China under the auspices of Chinese President Xi Jinping.

According to the joint statement, "the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have agreed to resume diplomatic ties and reopen embassies and missions within two months of talks."
