"If Iranian people are energised and motivated according to you, show some balls and go back and lead them and remove the regime. Put your money where your arse is, bloody parasitical imperial whore.."
- Pakistani Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif
Installing an out of touch expat in power after destabilizing a country in the Middle East, when has that ever gone wrong?
Rebel because the monarch said so 
Amerikkkan freedumbs
Meh the Shah's son is such a boring choice. Put MEK in with their very alive leader who no one has seen in two decades who has magical powers.
Not even a puppet the failson of a puppet 🤣
"we'll fucking create the conditions that lead to 'Islamic Republic 2: This time we're Shia ISIS'. I swear to god, we'll fucking do it"
The CIA and MI5 trained the shah's SAVAK police force how to torture people and now they want to do it again
Oh Christ, shut the fuck up. Someone roll out the goddamn French chopping device.
If we end up in the worst of all universes where that dumb fuck is "restored" to his throne then I'm immediately swapping stances. Sign me up to liberate Iran from monarchy. Let's go liberate the UK too. Drop some bunker busters on whatever that stupid castle is called where the KWEEN MUM lived and sausage fingers Charles currently resides.
The whole breakdown in relations between the US and Iran really started with the US allowing the shah to flee to America (which even fucking 
warned against), leading the Iranian revolutionaries conclude the US was planning to reinstate him (like they did before!), and they responded by taking hostages at the US embassy.
I've brought this up to people before, and gotten the response, "The shah was ill and came to the US for treatment, it was a humanitarian decision, the Iranians were just being paranoid."
Yet another reason to hate Jimmy Carter.

Its so funny too because, somewhat like W. Carter's crimes and malpractice is memory holed and overshadowed by his much worse successors when he was fucking demon! The more you learn about Carter the more you learn to hate just how fucking bad he was for how little he did but just by how much he even still managed to fuck up with 4 years of power.

"The shah was ill and came to the US for treatment
He had a case of "about to have his head chopped off"
Fortunately, there is a cure: 
we have a plan for Iran's future
That sounds like a threat
Trust me bro
Lmao you'd think with the last king in recent memory, they'd try something else but here we are
Maybe he can swing bringing some of that gold back home that pappy brought along in '79 to keep safe?
lol why would anyone in Iran care what this phil leotardo-looking fuck says
45 years off the palace I wanted caviar, I ate Big Mac from the pentagon instead.
the shah, whatever happened there
I wanted a secular communist revolution in Iran, I compromised. I got an anti imperialist Islamic Republic instead.
Fleeing the country for four decades is famously a thing you do when you're politically in-touch and have broad popular support
My "I'm not planning on killing you" shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.
Crown Prince
Monarchist detected 
Iran will not enter a period civil war or Instability,
Is it really a dynasty if it's just two dudes, though? The first of which was just some army officer the Brits put in charge?
God said so. The Brits were only guided by God.
(Monarchist "logic," probably. Monarchs rule by "divine mandate" or whatever, usually. Admitting that their grandpa was just the most evil asshole in a particular situation to grab power doesn't instill as much faith as saying "nah, God did that. God loves my family.")
God didn't kick my ass out though, that was just normal.
"Have you heard a little guy named Job? That's right. God tests us sometimes."
They're monarchs so they consider themselves a dynasty
"Do not be preoccupied about the day after the fall of the Islamic Republic" is the most perfect encapsulation of Radio Free Whatever-style agitation.
the supreme failson of Iran
The Bolsheviks did nothing wrong with the Romanovs
20 years in the can
The interim Shah:
"All of us, together", he says, from Washington DC.
"Die for my benefit" has been a recurring sentiment of royalty for time eternal, so at least he's consistent
Honestly if they even pull this off I doubt they'll even pretend it's a democracy
They already are pretending it's going to be that.
"There will be no civil war when the massive power vacuum hits" - Said a man who knows there will be a civil war when the massive power vacuum hits.
yeah there will be no civil war if he gets put in charge, it'll be a revolution, everyone in Iran will unite against his ass
