Getting the Persian royal family back is like getting the Hohenzollerns back to ruling Germany. They need to get a big name out there and Pahlavi is all they have that is recognizable, and he is anti Theocracy. The Iranians are at the point of anything is better than what was forced on them since 1979. The Revolutionary guards are going to be a problem, were can they go?

Or hopefully more like reinstalling the Borbons back in Spain. Sure they keep voting for far leftists, but bringing King Juan Carlos in as a transition from Franco worked, and it’s a functioning constitutional monarchy

Per online research, it looks like there’s population of Teheran seems unknown with precision but it look like there’s a consensus that greater Teheran has somewhere in the vicinity of 15 million. Displacing the population because of the drought cannot help but implode the economy and destabilize the state. The narrative that the mullahs have spent the country’s vast wealth on spreading terror vs building a world class desalinization infrastructure will be the easiest political sell ever.

Parenthetically, where are they going to go? The whole country is suffering from drought conditions

Trump would have him looking over his shoulder-keep it on the straight and narrow.

Teheran is 100 miles from the Caspian Sea-plenty of inland water-undrinkable. Perhaps Israel could help them.

The best thing that could happen would be for the women to remove their head scarfs.
