Exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, son of the former Shah of Iran, and hopefully the next leader of Iran, is questioned by a reporter if he is an “agent of Israel?”
Of course he isn’t, but Pahlavi reminds the anti-Israel reporter that back before the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Iran gave sanctuary to Jewish refugees who escaped Hitler. There were many Iranian Jews living in Iran for centuries before the Islamic dictators took over and if/when Pahlavi gains control, Jews will be welcome there once again.
Class act.

Calling Iran the “godfather of terrorism,” Pahlavi says the upsurge in Iranian-funded Islamic extremism against Israel is a disease that must be eradicated, because it poses a threat not only to countries in the region, but to Europe, as well, where the ultimate goal is to change the way of life.
RezaPahlavi, (h/t Amil I) Crown Prince of Iran is the oldest son of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran, and his wife Farah Diba. Before the Islamic Revolution in 1979, he was the crown prince and the last heir apparent to the throne of the Imperial State of Iran. Today, Pahlavi resides in Great Falls, Virginia.
Founder and leader of the National Council of Iran, an exiled opposition group that participates in the Iranian democracy movement, Pahlavi is a prominent critic of Iran’s Islamic Republic government.
Three years ago, he visited the state of Israel, sounding a message of unity as the two nations stand against each other in conflict. Reza Pahlavi is the son of the last Shah to rule Iran before the dynasty was effectively ended by the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
The Crown Prince’s visit to Israel and his meeting with the higher Israeli officials sent a strong message to the Iranians that Israel is, in fact, in favor of a strong, democratic Iran in the future, and a friendly Iran that shares the same values with Israel also serves Israel’s long-term interests. Pahlavi’s invitation to Israel, as brave a breakthrough as it was, revived Iranians’ hope that someday Iran and Israel will be friends, and the two nations will benefit from mutual partnership.
As Pahlavi said during his visit to Israel, “The biblical relationship we have with Israel was long before it became a state.” In fact, the Iran-Israel relationship does not only have a biblical anchor, but it also has a precedence in recent history, before the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Today, for a majority of Iran’s new generation, the revolution has lost popularity and is growingly known as a point of digression from a right path that former generations could not appreciate.
“The Iranian and Jewish people have ancient bonds dating back to Cyrus the Great and Queen Esther. As the children of Cyrus, the Iranian people aspire to have a government that honors his legacy of upholding human rights and respecting religious and cultural diversity, including through the restoration of peaceful and friendly relations with Israel and Iran’s other neighbors in the region,” said Reza Pahlavi.
“Millions of my compatriots still recall living alongside their Jewish-Iranian friends and neighbors before the Islamic Revolution tore apart the fabric of our society. They reject the regime’s genocidal anti-Israel and anti-Semitic policies and yearn for cultural, scientific and economic exchange with Israel. A democratic Iran will seek to re-establish ties with Israel and our Arab neighbors—perhaps as part of a future Cyrus Accords. In my view, that day is closer than ever.”
IRAN BEFORE THE AYATOLLAHS:
During the 1915 Genocide of the Armenians by the Turks, many Armenians went to Iran for refuge.
Also, this Reza Pahlavi’s message to the European leaders is absolutely brilliant.
I think he is turning into another Marco Rubio, in that the more we get to know him, the more we appreciate him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_S_1Q5bxB4
May God bless the Iranian people, and may we see great miracles soon. May God guide President Trump, Pete Hegseth and all those involved in good faith and with a good heart, from both the American and the Iranian side.
My BNI friend who was born in Iran supports Pahlavi unconditionally.
Hear, hear to Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi’s reply to the deranged communist “reporter”.
However, if the Persian Empire was so benign why did the Jewish people celebrate Alexander the Great’s destruction of the Persian Empire and freeing Israel from Persian rule?

When I lived up in Northern Virginia, my hairdresser, Farideh, was from Iran. However, the first time I met her I asked her where she was from, and she answered, albeit a bit hesitantly, “Persia”. She remained my hairdresser for over 25 years. I recall her telling me that her first husband was in the military under the Shah, and they had to leave.
We used to frequent a pizza restaurant there, one with a huge, and I mean huge, beautiful wood fired brick oven which produced the absolute best pizza, Emilio’s Pizza.. The owner had escaped Iran during the takeover by Khomeini. I think his brother was killed by the regime. He went to Italy, where he learned to prepare Italian cuisine. Anyway, he was just a great guy, and we always loved talking with him. A more patriotic American you couldn’t find. He hated Obama and was a strong supporter of the 2A, and he was very emotional about his views. He loved skydiving. He opened another Italian restaurant, first class.
The gentleman we bought our flooring from was also from Iran, a wonderful man to deal with. He named his store “Carpet America”. He was always good to us.
To Farideh, Emil, and “Mo”.

“National, Democratic, Elected Government of the People”, says the Crown Prince. This Statement itself is proof that the man may not be the proper person to rule and administer Iran. That part of the world is alien to Democratic values, and can only understand and serve a brutal but benevolent leader. The Shah was one such, until that wuss Carter threw him under the bus. Even the village idiot GB2, when he tried setting up a Democratic Iraq, scuttled the effort before it took shape by having in its Constitution’s Preamble that all its Democratic laws would derive from the Islamic Sharia! We know the state in which Iraq is now. Iran needs a strong visionary leader like the old Shah in power. Someone would would be amenable to both Israel and the USA. Else it would be replacing a authoritarian theocracy with a leftist liberal, whose rule would be for an extremely short time.
No one “threw” the Shah under a bus, the man was dying from terminal cancer and voluntarily LEFT Iran for the US to get cancer treatment. He should’ve appointed a successor, he didn’t. The Iranian Islamic Revolution happened while the Shah was receiving said cancer treatment. The Shah was in no position to rule anyone or anything by then.
Well, the Shah was under treatment for cancer for quite a while before the revolution, and it was kept a secret. He did not leave Tehran treatment. He fled the country, just as he had done in the early 50s before he was restored to power through Operation Ajax. In 1979, it was the leftist Carter who tied the Shah’s hands, FORCED him to release political prisoners and allow for the free assembly of dissidents. He advocated against military crackdowns, did not provide military support, and was the person who forced the Shah to flee in order to cool matters in Tehran. After all this, he denied political asylum to a long time friend and ally of the United States and Israel! But for Carter, we would not be in the state we are with respect to Iran! A good man, but a horrible President – was Carter!
No it WAS NOT Carter who tied the Shah’s hands in ’79’:
Exile and Desperate Measures (Jan-Feb 1979)
‘January 16, 1979: Tehran falls silent under revolutionary thunder as Mohammad Reza Shah, once unchallenged sovereign, boards a royal Boeing 707 at Mehrabad Airport. His abdomen, grotesquely distended by a basketball-sized spleen (20cm below costal margin), forces him into a custom wheelchair. En route to Aswan, Egypt—temporary refuge courtesy of Anwar Sadat—urgent labs drawn mid-flight reveal catastrophe: WBC 62,000/μL (92% lymphocytes), Hb 7.1 g/dL, platelets 85,000/μL. Hyperuricemia from tumor lysis syndrome risks acute renal failure; IV allopurinol drips alongside morphine for constant left upper quadrant pain. Empress Farah, clutching his hand, later recounts in her memoirs my ‘spleen weighs me down heavier than the crown.'”

The Shah was a walking dead man well before the Islamic Revolution, he knew it, he should’ve appointed a successor.
the wrong year has been reported : the Celebration of the 2500th anniversary of the founding of the Persian Empire [ Achaemenid Empire = the first Persian Empire, founded by Cyrus the Great ] took place in Iràn from 12 to 16 October 1971 , not 1975 . I remember it well .
The Greeks certainly weren’t celebrating the founding of the Persian Empire, they fought against Persian rule for hundreds of years until Alexander the Great came along and busted up the Persian Empire.
Those were better days before the vile putrid godless MUZSLIME showed up…. Accursed MUZSLIME RUIN EVERYTHING everywhere they go they are a pure blight on all humanity….
Maybe I missed it in the articles but under the Shah’s governance in the 1960’s and 1970’s, Iran kept Israel supplied with oil when none of the other Arab nations would. I think that his son would make a great leader and once again, a true friend to Israel and America.
Definitely!
