I have family members who actually escaped Persia the night before the country fell. They are American citizens now, and have a lot of background regarding Iran. The people want their country back. π
My relative who married an Iranian had to flee Iran with her half American children by crossing the mountains into Afghanistan, under gunfire. Her Iranian husband had been arrested for dissidence. The new regime had told her she would have to leave her children behind, if she wanted to go back to the USA. They all made it home.
Rightful according to what authority? God didnt make him king. Of he is installed hopefully he wil be a good leader. Nothing is rightfully his no matter how far back his lineage goes.
He supports Isreal...
The regime needs to go still either way.
The islamic takeover is still new enough that many remember being mostly free and a modern society at one point.
I remember! That is how it was when friends from Iran were here visiting and then within a short time Iran fell, and my friends lost their homes and such beautiful verdant estates of land.
I agree all those problems that stemmed from the shahs removal. Our countey likely endorses the most stable guy they can find. Tj
He new shah would imply that things would westernize again. But plenty of iranians dont want a king. He has his work cut out for him. He will have to do a lot of killing to remove the deep planted vermin that will be hanging around trying to ruin him. I watched iran do this in iraq for 10 years. They are very good at it. And likely alreadyb
have a plan for disruption.
President Trump threw his support behind the revolution, telling the Iranian leadership the United States is "locked and loaded" should they harm the protesters.
There are a lot of videos of Iranians having visions of Jesus and converting. So many stories, it is characterized as a phenomenon.
I remember the pressure from the left to cut off aid to Iran and the nightly protests of Muslims at the 14th street Bridge. I remember Carter inviting the disposed king to the USA for cancer treatment and then the capture of our embassy personnel who were held hostage for 400 plus days. It was a horror show. Some of us understood from the beginning what CARTER had done.
It would be a miracle to live to see a country with a rich history and culture return to its roots. Remember when the people rose before and Obama refused to speak even a word of encouragement? Told some of us exactly what we in the US were dealing with.
Sure they will. That's been 'the plan' from the beginning. Drive a regime change and install US/Israel puppet regime. I doubt if Russia and China will go along with "boots on the ground" or other overtly aggressive military action.
""Unlike Iraq, which was the result of a foreign attack, or involved boots on the ground, or was financed by taxpayers...in our scenario, we're neither calling for a foreign intervention nor are we calling for foreign resources."
Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi ruled Iran through fear backed by foreign power. His control depended on SAVAK, which carried out surveillance, detention, torture, and intimidation across students, clerics, workers, writers, and anyone suspected of dissent. SAVAK was built and trained through direct cooperation with the CIA and the Mossad, which supplied structure, counter-subversion doctrine, interrogation methods, and intelligence tradecraft. The Shah authorized this system and used it to hold power. At the same time, Iran modernized rapidly. Women gained the vote, entered universities and professions, and benefited from family-law reforms. Infrastructure expanded, literacy and healthcare improved, industry grew beyond oil, and secular courts displaced clerical authority. Iran became a strong centralized state. Externally, the country sat inside a U.S.βIsrael security alignment that treated Iran as a non-Arab pillar for regional control, anti-Soviet containment, and oil stability. That arrangement brought arms, intelligence cover, and diplomatic protection, and the Shah accepted it while his power kept growing. Oil money in the 1970s raised his ambitions toward independent pricing, military expansion, nuclear capability, and regional dominance. External backing tightened, internal repression left no loyal base, decisions stalled, and his public language shifted toward broad Zionist blame rather than naming governments and agencies. Support evaporated, opposition hardened, and the regime collapsed quickly.
My Iranian friends were free and did not "hate the shah" and when he was deposed they lost their land and homes. The mullahs threw Iran back into the Dark Ages!!
This is their chance and I pray for them!
His father was one of the good ones.

Happy they made it home π₯°

His father was a brutal autocrat. Hated by the people. Cabal through and through.

Thanks. This post is much appreciated. Obama should face justice for funding this expansion of terrorism and the expansion of the political Islamism.
I freakin' love our president!

Prayers sent for these brave citizens.
We all know the answer to economic success in Iran -- QUIT SANCTIONING THE SHIT OUT OF IRAN'S ECONOMY.
Sure they will. That's been 'the plan' from the beginning. Drive a regime change and install US/Israel puppet regime. I doubt if Russia and China will go along with "boots on the ground" or other overtly aggressive military action.
Some Iranians view him as a fair weather friend...
Culturally, this doesn't play well. He won't last... What a shame
You too boo!

I hope this is true.
