Tehran – The exiled son of the Iranian Shah, who fell in the Islamic Revolution of 1979, seized the moment again and pushed forward that long breakdown.
Having spent more than 40 years trying to set up himself in Iran’s political life, Reza Pallavi has been repeatedly directed for support from the enemy of Iran’s arch, seeking to set up himself without the general duties or legal justification.
This time, as tensions grow in the region following the waves of Israeli and American military attacks on the Islamic Republic, it appears he is using foreign attacks to revive his decades-old dream of returning to power at home.
From face-to-face meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to working with Tel Aviv amid the recent Israeli invasion of Iran’s sovereignty, Pahlavi has shown a consistent willingness to prioritize personal power goals over national interests.
Also, during his speech in Paris on Monday, he turned to foreign powers in the hopes of Paris getting support to fulfill his ambitions.
In an interview with the anti-Iran outlet Iran International on Sunday, Pahlavi claimed Iran’s political and military structures were “collapsing,” calling for an immediate public uprising and urged Iranians to take them to the streets. At the same time, he had a “transition plan” for Iran’s future, boasting of a plan built on the echoes of foreign interventions and colonial arrangements.
“Pahlavi’s reliance on external support from the hostile regime on Iran shows what is called an opposition to political bankruptcy,” said a Tehran political analyst. “They lack a clear political vision rooted in general support, internal credibility and Iran’s sovereignty.”
However, his position is increasingly seen by Iranian observers as part of a broader pattern among exiled opposition, including the MKO cult led by Mariam Rajabi and New York-based Masi Arinejad.
Rajabi, the leader of the Mohahedin-e-Kalk Organisation (MKO), is famous for his long record of alliance with Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq War and espionage and terrorism, recently supported Israeli attacks, and has been called the “beginning of a new chapter.”
Her statement in the European Parliament, which recognized her platform, was widely criticized by Iranian officials and many independent observers as further evidence of European accomplices that undermined the stability of the region.
Meanwhile, Arinehad, known for repeated calls for Western military intervention in Iran, has openly criticized Israel for not attacking Iran, but for thinking she was badly timed. She lamented that Israel had “disturbed” the opposition’s plans, indirectly admitting, in her words, “the project of change of government goes back 15-20 years ago,” and admitted that the attacks had retreated and only strengthened public solidarity against foreign attacks.
These reactions from the ousted opposition have attracted widespread criticism among Iran and the Iranian people who have firmly united the unity of their people in the face of external threats. Many view the statements of Pahlavi, Rajavi and Alynehad as being deaf and deaf from the reality on earth – ordinary Iranians view foreign military attacks as an unacceptable violation of sovereignty.
