Kann Reza Pahlavi der Trump-Regierung die Führung eines postklerikalen Regimes im Iran verkaufen?

Submission Statement: Prior to Trump’s Presidency, most of the world including Past American presidents never bothered to platform Pahlavi as a valid alternative. In the wake of recent protests and with the IRGC’s barbarism on display, he has emerged as a frequent option to buck pass administrative responsibility to in the process of a regime change. There have been demonstrations within Iran calling for his revival. The two other Pahlavis, beforehand, were nearly discarded three times. The Soviets and British toppled the first one for trading too much with Hitler. Then the second one ran away to Italy during the Mossadegh Nationalization fiasco of 1953 and came back after MI6 /CIA muzzled the opposition for him. In 1979, the revolution happened without any backing from foreign powers, culminating in the crisis that we see today. I am unsure if a third attempt at a Pahlavi would be welcomed. Especially if a foreign government inserts him in power as the transitional leader through force, however, it appears that he is the only viable option available for those encouraging an American sponsored regime change given the lack of coagulated armed resistance on the ground like in Vietnam with Diem’s Regime or Afghanistan with the Northern Alliance. It becomes a matter of question if he can persuade Trump into invading Iran for this to transpire, but given the lack of appetite for regime change ventures in the West and America’s situation with debt unlike on the eve of the War on Terror. It appears unlikely, but who knows?

He would be imposed on the Iranian people by imperial forces, with his mandate being that his father was imposed on Iran by imperial forces.

And if you dont believe that or think there’s more nuance needed, thats fine. But he is inherently a polarizing figure, and, in my opinion, a gift to the current Iranian leadership. Many who wish to see them fall have a similar distaste to Pahlavi, which fragments any kind of opposition group.
