Arrogant. Failed to read the people’s frustration about the brutal security apparatus. Until it was too late to save the CIA puppet. Pahlavi fled to the US (Jimmy Carter). Contracted terminal cancer and passed on. That over the top elite tent party in the desert at Persepolis (ruined ancient city) was in bad form. Very costly and meant to impress onto the global attendees the impression that Persia was rising as a restored power. There is one of your 25 insane notables. Will the aging son do any better? Doubtful. If you insist on a restored monarchy, then to survive it’s got to be a constitutional one, ruled over by a Brit styled parliament. I don’t expect anything good out of this riotous situation. The beneficiary is Israel. Fine. But is Israel going to bless Iran? Doubtful. It wants Iran weakened and under its control.
