He maintains constant contact with his compatriots and opposition groups, both inside and outside the country.

In addition to numerous articles published, Reza Pahlavi has written three books on the state of affairs in Iran: Gozashteh va Ayandeh (Kayhan Publishing, 2000); Winds of Change: The Future of Democracy in Iran (Regnery, 2002); and IRAN: L'Heure du Choix [IRAN: The Deciding Hour] (DenoÃ«l, 2009).
