“The end of the Islamic regime is approaching, our own Berlin Wall comes,” the son of the last Shah of Persia found, a few hours before the “directed” Iranian attack on the larger American base in his ceasefire.
Exile from his homeland since 1979, along with other members of the royal family, 64 -year -old Reza Pachlavi probably realized that an agreement was “baked” in the background, as in an interview he called on the US and Europe “not to throw another lifeline” in the regime. The former prince has thickened his appearances in international media in the previous days, claiming that he is “working with the opposition in Iran” and that he decided to take a “step forward” for the good of the country.
‘Golden Backup’
Once the ceasefire is implemented, the Iranian regime will take a breath, but that does not mean it will be long. In this context, Shah’s son is a “golden backup” for those who are striking the regime’s overthrow plans. Reza Pachlavi is popular in the circles of the Philomas Iranian exiles, but his appeal inside Iran is considered small because of the heavy heritage named after him. In addition, he maintains contacts with executives of the Trump and Congress government, even with the Netanyahu government (he was warmly welcomed in Israel in 2023) while one of his three daughters married an American Jewish businessman a few weeks ago.
The heavy legacy of the Pachlavi dynasty
Reza Pachlavi is the eldest son of Shah Mohammad Reza Pachlavi and his third wife Farah (the first failed marriage was with Egyptian princess Fauzia and the second with Soraya). During the World War II, the British and the Soviets overthrew Shah Reza, imposed his son Mohammed as a rail, who ruled for nearly four decades with a iron fist, attempted the modernization of the country, which clashed with the country. The landmarks of his reign were the overthrow of the Mosadek government in 1953 (attempting to nationalize oil) with a coup organized by Britain and the US, the exile of Ayatollah Khomeini, the launch of the nuclear program. Waste and corruption while more than 50% of the population was immersed in poverty resulted in the launch of social discontent.
The party that caused the fall
Fatal proved to be the status of the grandiose and costly plan to celebrate the 2,500 years of the Empire next to the ruins of ancient Persepolis in 1971. Inside the desert it was set up from scratch, under strict security measures and by transporting materials from the outside of a “city”. To clean the area of snakes and scorpions, the workshops sprayed an area of 30 square kilometers, then planted 15,000 trees and transported 40,000 birds there. The ceremony included a parade of thousands of soldiers in season war costs and rich meals for guests (4 tonnes of food were transported by air from a renowned French restaurant). The event is reflected in the documentary entitled “Decline and Fall in Iran: the biggest party in history” (Decadence and Downfall in Iran: The Greatest Party in History).
The popular anger for the demon and the waste (the cost exceeded $ 120 million, a huge amount for the season) overcame the spectacle with dazzling costumes and high foreign visitors. From exile, Khomeini launched the “traitors of Islam and the people”. At a parallel wavelength the Communist Party, trade unions and part of the commercial order, moved a few years later, and overturned the Shah in 1979. But soon the brutal repression by the secular regime was succeeded by the repression by the Guards of the Islamic Revolution. Mohammad Reza Pachlavi died of cancer at the age of 60 in Egypt, a guest of President Anuar Sadat.
Undoubtedly, the war with Israel over the last 10 days p. The stamina of the regime will be tested when the size of losses and disaster is shown. Within this scene the return of the royal family remains a distant dream. The Shah’s son who grew up in the feathers and studied in the West appears as a Democrat reformer, as a possible “transitional” leader and “guarantor” of a course to free elections. Even if the younger generation has come to power except the mules, the ghost of Shah is over the political ambitions of Reza Pachlavi who reach a referendum on the state.
