“If I go, Iran will fall into ruins, and if Iran falls, the Middle East follows. And if the Middle East is in ruins, great terror will reign over the world." Iranian or not, Monarchist or not, Muslim or not, Hard to say he was wrong. The man was wise beyond his years The man was taken for granted by his own people, betrayed by “allies.” The man was possibly not “born a leader”, like his gardan koloft father, but he certainly became one… and a very effective one at that. And that confidence, that course, that trajectory is what ultimately undid him. Certainly lessons to heed… but lessons those he warned ignored. That man was Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. And no, as an entrepreneur I certainly would not be a monarchist in any conventional sense of the word, but as an Iranian, I 100% understand why lacking anyone else, a plurality if not majority of Iranians have sought in his son @PahlaviReza someone to turn to to restore Iran to its greatest era, which predates the accursed 1979 Revolution/coup. Don’t take good leaders for granted.
