  1. Iran is on the cusp of a possible revolution, exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi said in an interview with The Telegraph published Sunday, calling on Western countries to brace for the historic change.

    “The regime is at its most vulnerable and weakest state, and at the same time our nation has never been more ready for change.”

    Pahlavi also said he supports US President Donald Trump’s “maximum pressure” policy on Iran but believes it should be paired with “maximum support” for opposition movements.

  2. How likely will the Mullahs collapse? And how likely will the Crown Prince govern post-Mullah Iran? He is the most visible regime opponent, after all. Judging every Iran news, the comment section are overwhelningly nostalgic for the Shah.

  3. I feel like the American equivalent of this is,
    “This year is going to be the worst year in stock market history”.

  4. With a surname like that, I’d be staying as far from Iran as possible even if the current government is overthrown.

  5. We’ve been hearing that Iran is on the brink of a revolution for so long that I don’t think we can take these articles seriously anymore. At some point you have to acknowledge the Iranian opposition is not a credible threat to the clerics.

  6. Perhaps, but if it happens, we shouldn’t assume that it will be replaced by anything better.
