I could see where the Iranian people are getting a little restless. This has to be a very troubling time for the mullahs and ayatollahs of Iran, and the semi-civilian government that operates at their direction.

I don’t believe this rises to the point of restoring the “Peacock Throne” of the family of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran, to power, but the “Islamic Republic of Iran” have shown they cannot govern a modern nation-state either. There was an attempted coup against the Shah in 1953 when the Prime Minister of the time, Mohammad Mosaddegh, attempted to usurp the Shah’s near-complete rule, but was thwarted by the combined actions of the CIA and the British MI6. Mosaddegh was considered to be a pro-Russian operative, calling for full nationalization of the oil industry.

How about this guy then?

Prince Mohammad Hasan Mirza II Qajar (also known as Mickey Kadjar)[citation needed] (born July 18, 1949) is the son of Hamid Mirza and a grandson of Mohammad Hassan Mirza, the last Crown Prince of Iran from the rule of the Qajar dynasty. As heir apparent, he is considered the Qajar pretender to the Sun Throne. He currently lives in Dallas, Texas, in the United States.
