0:00It's April 23, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Canada News Today, local news powered by AI. Iran's exiled Crown Prince Reza Palavi got hit with red liquid Thursday as he stepped out of a news briefing in Berlin. This happened right outside Germany's federal press building after he slammed the recent U.S. Iran ceasefire deal. The 65-year-old waved to his supporters, hopped in a car, and drove off while police grabbed the attacker on the spot. Palavi, son of Iran's last shot, ousted back in 1979, has lived in exile for almost 50 years. He's pushing hard to lead a post-regime change Iran and backs U.S. and Israeli moves in the Middle East. During his Berlin trip, no German officials met with him. He's calling out the ceasefire for betting on Iran's leaders suddenly turning pragmatic, saying diplomacy has had plenty of shots already. Palavi urged Europe to back Iranians fighting for democracy, pointing to 19 political prisoners executed in the last two weeks and 20 more.
