Return of the Shah, as the UK and the US did in the 50s. Now our leaders are even saying it.
If you wanted everyone in Iran to fight to the death, just bring up the Shah.

1. I understand your point, but 60% of Iranians are under 30

I’m not sure how salient appeals to the shah would be today, but the Iranian regime has no shortage of anti-Western propaganda.

3. Everyone in Iran lost relatives under the Shah.

I'm sure the 30 years old have been taught in school what the Shah did and how the UK and USA staged the coup that installed him to take over the oil.

8. What about under the current regime?

Those memories might be more live to them.

2. When I was on twitter

You would see Iranians(the ones who came to the US) begging Trump in either Persian or Arabic to liberate Iran sand reinstall Crown Prince Reza as the Shah.

5. All of his supporters had to leave the country.

There is a line in the Shahs' family ready to take over. All of them live in the USA.

6. His heir apparent lives here in the US nt

I wonder if he’s met with trump,Bolton,and Pompeo?

11. All the more reason why he should not be re-installed.

Its been roughly 30 years, the royal family has no connection to the people anymore.
