He has stature and gravitas. Poor fellow, he’s probably the only one who can unify the country.
The “Iranian people” are a hodgepodge of different ethnicities and religious sub-groups.
Yes, they are, and that is one of the reasons I am with you on restoring a constitutional monarchy in Iran. There has to be a figurehead, a „uniting figure“ of the entire state.
That’s why the American government wisely did maintain the institution of the monarchy in Japan after 1945. Praise Gen. MacArthur, the blue-eyed Shogun!
And that’s why the monarchy in Spain was reinstated after the death of Gen. Franco.
Prince Juan Carlos of Bourbon, a descendant of the last Spanish King, who became King in 1975, was able to help restore democracy- and he united Spain, a country approximately as ethnically diverse as Iran. He united them all, and he did often mediate between government and opposition, and the Castilians and the other ethnicities of Spain (Catalans, Basques, Galicians, Valencians etc.).
My hope for Iran would be for a similar development 🙏🏻🙂
The apple doesnt fall far from the tree on this one. The Shah was a wicked wicked man.
The entire Pahlavi from Day 1 are usurpers .
