The issue is that his close ties with Israel make it easier for the regime to delegitimize the revolution as a ‚foreign plot.‘ It’s a move that risks splitting the domestic opposition

And then Trump will be running Iran and controlling its oil along with Venezuela and the states. Sounds like a slum lord.

Considering his father’s mismanagement, corruption and authoritarianism contributed to the Islamist revolution and the reason that this current government exists, the „prince“ should probably sit this one out….

He should stay the fuck out of Iran. The Pahlavis are the reason why Iran plunged into theocracy. A secular parliamentary republic with the president as the head of state is the most suitable approach. No monarchy.

In Persia’s 2,500 year history, they have had only 6 major regime changes. 2 with in the last 100 years. A third seems possible. I don’t know enough to have much of an opinion. I just think that it’s an interesting fact to point out.

For those that don’t remember;
The Shah of Iran was popular with the west because of his White Reforms that transformed the Iranian Economy, but his handing of protests were just as brutal as the Ayatollah’s are now.
Prince Reza isn’t his father, and he isn’t responsible for how the Shah handled things, but I take his words with a heavy grain of salt. He might want democracy now, but who is to say what an exiled Prince who named himself the Shah in Exile wants long term?

Trump could help, but he wants to invade Greenland and Canada instead. More profit. Sorry Iranian revolutionaries. Edit: also Mexico and Cuba.

His family and US meddling is why the 1979 revolution happened in the first place.
I’m hopeful the Iranian people choose something more like 1951, where they democratically elected a PM who looked after the interests of the Iranian people, and wasn’t a greedy king or an oppressive priest. Which is exactly why the US/UK had him overthrown in 1953 and installed Reza Pahlavi.

not sure why it hasn’t hit the news (yet) but United States just issued an order for immediate evacuation of all Iranian-American citizens and to leave by any means necessary. US Virtual Embassy Iran just posted it about 20 minutes ago. Something’s about to go down.

Isn’t the shah the reason Iran is in this position to begin with?
They had a democratically elected leader that was very much ‚Iran’s resources are for Iran“ which angered Britian. Britian then told the US that their leader was a communist, and so they had a coup and installed the shah. He was a puppet for the West, suffered the people and so he was overthrown by the Islamic regime.
The previous shah betrayed his people and this one has no claim to lead the people because he hasn’t even lived in Iran. He will also throw them back into the hands of the US; you think trump cares about the people of Iran? He doesn’t even care about the people of America!

I hope Iran gets a more democratic government and completely away from anything that has to do with Islam. Would be wonderful if any new government separates religion from politics. But that’s probably not going to happen.

No clown prince needed in Iran – democracy will do, if they can win it

Issue is the „sooner“ assets need to be placed. If earlier reporting is too be believed the U.S and Israel doubted the protest were going to be this distabilizing. That is an intel fault on both the U.S and Israel and a common one of underestimating the reality on the ground. Hope we are double timing it before the executions begin wensday but being realistic I am unsure.

The word “crown prince” should have 0 political weight on any part of civilized world as of 2026.
A political entity that still lean on the primitive practice of monarchy is no better than a theocracy. Both of these forms of government belong either in trashcan or in the archive. They should have no place on daily lives of modern human.
