Reza Pahlavi the middle aged pretender to the throne.

At a personal level I don't hold any grudges against him; we've never met and spoke personally for that to happen. But at a general level there are some objections towards him replacing the mullahs who will no doubt fall from power sooner or later (sooner one hopes---but really one has to overcome Vevak, and the British).

  • He has a non-Aryan over indulged KFC face and he doesn't look the slightest bit perturbed by the Israeli Netanyahu Likud brigade desire to nuke his country, expressed through America and their puppets. Has he visited Israel? He shouldn't. He doesn't seem the slightest bit perturbed by what the mullahs have done to that beautiful and poetical country, with the guidance of the UK. If I had any self respect I wouldn't be comfortably residing in a country that threatens MY COUNTRY DAY AFTER DAY, and thus legitimating their actions by my presence there. No I'd be a little bit more agitated, and lobbying against the mullahs and the Israelis around the world, and writing to Iran to let them know I was with the people. The mullahs can censure it, but it is the action and thought that counts. I would feel the pain of the people. Perhaps he does feel pain, but he simply isn't showing it.
  • Colonel Reza Khan from the Persian Cossack brigade was installed into power by the British in 1921, to help consolidate the country for the British, after the Imperial Russians had departed. So his grandfather, far far better than the mullahs was ultimately a British puppet. So his grandfather was a simple colonel, with no blue blood unlike some of the traditional royals of Europe like Denmark or the UK, whose lineage goes back many centuries.
  • Monarchy as a form of government is no longer fashionable. It is out dated, and whilst you might still get away with it in a small country, as a form of government for a country like Iran it is unacceptable and unworkable. We appreciate that classical Persian culture emphasises 'great good kings' Cyrus, Abbas etc mythologised via the Shahnameh, but the realty is that in a complex country like Iran you need something more representative to effectively rule the country, rather than rely on the whims of one man, and hope that he is benevolent.
  • No more foreign backed puppets for Iran. Iran has had a its fill of them. Fakravar and other would be Chalabi's. Reza Pahlavi is part of that group, and has been groomed for that purpose, which means that should he come to power he will be making the same mistakes as his father, and as a USA puppet. No the next post mullah leader has to come out of Iran, who has been living in Iran and not in exile, and has to be some one who has a proven track record of fighting the mullahs.
