dinogreeves, you are wrong, so terribly misguided on this point. And your support for Reza is clear evidence you are seriously out of touch on the matter. Sometimes it's better to let AI do some talking, in this case it is much more objective than you appear capable of.
Shut the fuck up peasant, you know nothing about how the World turns, more importantly you know nothing about Iran or Iranian/Persian people. I do, I lived there...
And your arrogance about it is stultifying, stultifying for you, i mean. For one, you repeat that you lived there as though it places you above others here. It doesn't.

Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran's last Shah, is considered a divisive or unviable option for leading a post-Islamic Republic Iran by various critics, despite having support among some opposition groups. Arguments against his leadership often focus on his family legacy, lack of recent experience inside Iran, and questions regarding his ability to unite a fractured opposition.
Reasons cited why some view Reza Pahlavi as "no option" include:
* Association with Monarchy and Dictatorship: Many opponents, including those in the diaspora and various political factions, associate his name with the authoritarian rule of his father and grandfather. Critics fear a return to a Pahlavi-led government would mean a return to dictatorship (or a "turban to crown" transition) rather than a democratic republic.
* Decades in Exile: Pahlavi has lived outside of Iran since 1978, leading to arguments that he is disconnected from the realities, struggles, and needs of modern Iranians who have lived under the Islamic Republic.
* Divisive Role in the Opposition: Despite presenting himself as a uniting figure who only seeks a transitional role, critics argue he is not truly inclusive. He has been accused of failing to build a broad coalition, with some supporters using aggressive "slash-and-burn" tactics against other opposition figures.
* Weak Support Among Non-Persian Groups: Critics argue that Pahlavi's appeal is limited primarily to Persian monarchists and that his vision lacks the inclusivity needed to win over Iran's diverse ethnic and minority populations.
* Perception as a Foreign Puppet: Some opponents view him as being too closely tied to Western powers, particularly the U.S. and Israel, which can undermine his legitimacy as an independent national leader in the eyes of many Iranians.
* Failed Leadership and Legitimacy: Critics often point to his "Vekalat Midaham" (I give my mandate) campaign as failing to gain overwhelming consensus, suggesting his support is more a result of nostalgic media campaigns rather than genuine widespread popularity.
Conversely, supporters of Pahlavi argue that he is a symbol of Iran’s "golden age" and a pragmatic choice to lead a democratic transition, noting he has explicitly stated he wants a referendum to decide Iran's future system, rather than imposing a monarchy.
Grab a rifle and go fight for your dictator, asshole.
You lived in Iran when you were what, ten years old?
Your mom was a fucking whore who hated the elected government, and your dad was a profiteer making a good living while disregarding the misery of the rest of his nation.
The Pahlavis were thrown out by a consortium consisting of every segment of Iranian society. Why would you think they'd welcome his scumbag son back?
Why do people need religion at all? Your people are turning away from a stifling religion towards another stifling religion. What good is a religion when it wraps itself with a government.
