"IS THE LITTLE HORN IN DANIEL 7:8 CURRENTLY A CROWN PRINCE, THE SON OF A KING OF SYRIA, IRAQ, OR IRAN?"


The 10 horns on the fourth beast are 10 kings according to Daniel 7:24. Is the Little Horn in Daniel 7:8, currently a crown prince, the son of a king, who has yet to become a king since the fourth beast with 10 horns is also called a king in Daniel 7:17 and a kingdom in Daniel 7:23?

Who are the current crown princes of Syria, Iraq & Iran (Persia)? The Babylonian empire consisted of Syria & Iraq.  However, Syria, Iraq & Iran (Persia) were a part of the Seleucid Empire from which the first Little Horn Antiochus IV Epiphanes of Daniel came from, & they were all later a part of the Roman Empire. Some people think that the Little Horn (Antichrist) will come from the region of Syria or Iraq.  However, there are no current crown princes in Syria or in Iraq. King Faisal I was both king of Iraq from 8/23/1921 to Sept. 8th, 1933 when he died, and he was the last king of the Arab Kingdom of Syria or Greater Syria from 3/8/1920 to 7/28/1920.  There is no crown prince of Syria because King Faisal I's son King Faisal II died childless on 7/14/1958.  So the last king of Iraq was Faisal II who was executed on 7/14/1958.  He was engaged to be married, but died before his marriage took place to Sabiha Fazila so he had no children so there is no crown prince of Iraq or Syria.    

However, Iran (Persia) was also part of the Seleucid empire, & it later became part of the Roman Empire.  The current crown prince of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, born 10/31/1968, is exiled in the U.S. & lives in Maryland.  There would have to be a regime change in Iran before he could be become King of Iran or ruler of it.  He is a Shia Muslim (Shite).
"Pahlavi, who named himself the 'king of kings' in Iran following the 1980 death of his father in Egypt, where he was in exile" according to the article at Who is Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi? Can he return to power in Iran? (ibtimes.sg)  However, he has never been officially crowned as king of Iran.  As you know King of Kings  & Lord of Lords is the title of Lord Jesus Christ in Rev. 19:16.
