PAHLAVI

say what?

Thanks for your great

Thanks for your great article ! You said it excactly the way it is ! Greatly articulated !

And thanks Aryo barzan for sharing the letter, i liked it :D

Last week we had an other evidence of iranian republican undemocratic behavior, they don't even respect a "unity time zone" to fight islamic republic first, because for them the liberty of our people is less important than the system they want to bring for us ! For iranian republican ends justifies the means !! completely unscrupulous, they lie, make up stories, put words in PRP's mouth,insult PRP and everyone who likes him !!

Why should we Trust you ?

In your political heritage nothing good was done for Iran, even worse your alliance to mullahs paved the road of hell.

And its not because you "glue" yourselves to french republic (or american one) that you can gain (their) credibilty for  your own, what we need is your democratic actions and talks ! But all have seen in 3 decades is You insulting the pahlavi ! well well Hezbola and mojaheds did it before you (its not a compliment to be like this extremists) and its far from being enough to convince us to trust you !

Stubborn "retarded" you keep schooling us (like Mullahs do) like if we were a bunch of ignorant , uneducated little child, unable to think by ourselves, without free will and of course desperately needing you to enlight our road to democracy !!!!  you are so wrong ! (& too arrogant)

what these "Retarded" people should understand is choosing a constitutionnal monarchy is not a sign of being undeducated backward !

Bien au contraire,by thinking like you do, you are not better than the mullah in his village who believes he knows better he must guide his crowd !!!!actually you have no idea  how backward you are yourself ! we are not your crowd and we can decide by ourselves no need your  guidance !

When you have read  voltaire, JJ Rousseau Diderot Descartes Plato, Socrates (.........) you don't need people like moshiri , amini, shariatmadari( .......) to guide you !!!! Its ridiculous and laughable, if you were true democrates, you would not  allow yourself to attack other iranians just because they prefere an other system than you , all because in your little mind constitional monarchy is archaic and only republic is modern !! what is archaic is the set up of your mind !

Are we talking about the same RP

Are we talking about the same RP that was frequenting discos in the 80's while real Iranians were being killed in the Iran-Iraq war?

And what is this bullshit about him saying all the right things. So what!

That's what he is supposed to say. How else can he persuade the gollible to jump on his bandwagon, a wagon wheels of which are lubricated in Israel.

And one more funny typical BS that goes along these lines:

I waz reecently in eeran and now I know millions there want RP back.

Yeah, right! You go there, frequent your own circuit of people, family, and cab drivers, hang out with a couple of street smart blokes and woopti you get an accurate picture of Iran and a precise pole of people's wishes.

Gallop and IPSOS are so envious. 

The monarchist fantasy world!

Outside the realms of burger kingdom and dairy queendom, kings and queens play little to no role in an average, modern 21st century person's life. That is with the exception of our own monarchist crowd who are pathologically obsessed with such notions and whose lives revolve around the concept of royalty and imperial majesty!

That makes for a make belive world in which they can pretend that there still exists the possibility of the Pahlavis getting back to rule over Iranians and to turn back the clock to the good old days of pre-1979 heaven when Shah's Rastakhiz party was paving the way to "the golden gates of great civilization" that would've revived the glory days of the Cyrus the great...!

In the process, there are no lies or deceptions that these desperate people would spare in order to keep themselves and their make believe royalty relevant to the daily lives of Iranians! From comparing Reza Shah (who was an illiterated thug) to Cyrus, to claiming that Iran under the authoritarian rule of Shah was the most advanced country in the region, to insisting that IRI is the paradigm of a republic, and nowadays; caliming that RP has dedicated his entire life to democracy in Iran (despite his having declared himself as a king) and compare him to Nelson Mandella and Mahatma Gandhi!

Pahlavi worshippers' old claims have already been disproved by countless living/existing proofs and evidences and laughed at by people who live in the real world. But these latest claims about RP are of an entirely different nature in terms of presumptuousness and audacity. For this time, they've stretched their fantasy world to encompass international pro-democracy icons who suffered tremendous hardship and endured lengthy prison terms and torture and who, contrary to RP, did not inherit their status from their fathers' legacy, did not live off a gnerous trust fund courtesy of their national wealth and who not only never tried to justify the lack of democracy and human rights in their countries' past by claiming that their peoples weren't ready for democracy, but advocated nothing but unconditional, universal human rights for their nations and the human kind!

What a joke!    

Ashk D: there is solidarity

Ashk D: there is solidarity already. You should be coaching the King to get up and and say "i want to go to Iran".

That will be the spark that will create wildfires!

Our kingdom of Cloud Cuckoo Land!

Come on everybody, don't be a spoilsport! Let us have some fun and join in solidarity with our prince ! Anyone who doesn't like him or thinks he is too fat to qualify as an Iranian Gandhi or Mandela is simply going to be banned from our kingdom of Cloud Cuckoo Land.

Mardom M: it's a Catch-22

Not having an agenda is the problem. Obviously he needs to have a plan for getting Iran back. He basically has decided to not take any bold initiatives. For years we all criticised anyone who moaned about him saying "oh you want him to do your dirty work".

But then I realised that he would never pick up the batton and run. He wants the whole nation of Iran to beg him to lead. He calls that democracy. But he has a legal mandate to act. That is madness.

So we have catch-22.

He does not want to seem too arrogant to demand an uprising as an order from a King, and the people are waiting for an order.

Ali from your own words RP cannot have an agenda

If His Imperial Majesty made it known he would wage war on someone if he returned, the US would have him there in a week.

That's exactly my point. RP is honest and he tries to save Iran from destruction without selling his soul to anyone.

May we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion, as said Eisenhower

Mardom M: imagine Iran was

Mardom M: imagine Iran was attacked and the King of the country said "the people will decide". It is madness.

That is why Khomeini was accepted. Our nationalists used democracy to not lead.

We had an alien Moslem decide to defend Iran. But we now know that these Hezbollahis use Iran for their own agenda.

Now that agenda is to be US's and Israel's sparring partner. The weapon dealers love this.

If His Imperial Majesty made it known he would wage war on someone if he returned, the US would have him there in a week.

It is all about arms business. That is why I pray.

Ali praying ain't sufficient anymore

Time is to act and at these times of danger we, as iranians, have the duty to do so, right now!

Reza Pahlavi is listen because he's the son of the Shah. He has a role to play to save Iran from destruction and that is exactly what he is doing.

If he can initiate  solidarity so let it be. Unlike Khomeini 34 years ago, he is saying now that people will decide of their own future in due course.

نلسون ماندلاهای سیاه ایران!

تعداد نلسون ماندلاهای ایران که با گذشته و حال «سیاهتر از سیاه» خود نه تنها «روسیاه» در برابر ملت بلکه با افتخار فراوان در خدمت سازمان «سیای» آمریکا بوده و هستند بیشتر از یکی دوتاست و تنها منحصر به رضا پهلوی ملقب به رضا «مانده لای چه گندی» نیست!

Mardom M: for thirty years

Mardom M: for thirty years His Imperial Majesty has given us Politics 101. What is needed is for him to carry out his non political duty. He is not a politician. But he is afraid of being labelled as a King. Fact is that he is responsible for the Royal Institution and he does not want to have anything to do with it. He has a duty to run that office.

He just needs to say that the Royal Institution has a role to play when the integrity of Iran is in danger. That can happen if the country's culture is not paramount. The theocracy does not put Iranian culture above Islam. That is a fact.

There is no institution in Iran that protects the culture of Iran. There isn't one outside Iran. The Royal Institution is not operating. That is a major problem.

I have told him that the Holy Farr of Iran will protect him. He prefers to be a Human Rights agent. We can only pray. Ya Ahura!

شاه اللهی ها رو نمیدونم ولی رضا پهلوی واقعن وطن پرسته !

تمام صحبت هاشو در این چند وقت اخیر دنبال کردم؛ همه را منطقی و بدون تناقض یافتم . خود رضا پهلوی هم که ازهمین حالا دارد میگوید که رای مردم ملاک است. پس یا یک حزبی، به غیر از مجاهدین، راه حال دیگری که هم گیر باشد را میشناسند یا اینکه از همین حالا بهتر است کسی بازی جمهوری اسلامی را اینجا برای ما در نیارد و بیش از این در راه تحقق همبستگی کار شکنی نکند.

Teheran: you are right. But

Teheran: you are right. But the Royal Institution has a mandate that needs to be followed. The CEO of the Royal Institution like any director cannot do whatever he likes. There is a constitution. The Pahlavis originally wanted a Republic.

Even now His Imperial Majesty would rather have the people decide instead of carrying out his duties. Pretending to be a Human Rights advocate when our greatest Emperor created the Declaration of Human Rights some 2500 years ago is strange.

He should be stating to the world "my forefathers established the meaning of Human Rights when we released the Jews from capitivity etc etc". The country has been invaded by Ayatollahs who do not care about putting our ancient history first.

Plenty of political ideologues right here on this topic want to put democracy above Iranian culture. We need to keep our love for Iran first and we have the oldest institution in the world to keep it safe.

To answer your question 

Reza Pahlavi Che rabti dare be pesaresh ya madaresh?

Aghe pedaret  to doctor, farrash ya ghatel ya agar Madaret o

Moallem ya ghatel bood in dalil nemishe ke to ham

Mesle oonha bashi. Agar injoori bood ke  bayesti tamam bachehaye akhoond ha va basijiha va pasdarha Ra dar badve tavallod kosht! 

Har kasi bar hasbe karha ee ke khodash Anjam midahad bayad sanjesh shaved na bar hasbe karhaye pedar va madarash, Che khoob Che bad!

Reza Pahlavi has nothing to do with his dad , even though as a young Iranian I have realized that tge shah did a lot of good for Iran more than the kings before him and certainly more than the Islamic rep.

You have to evaluate every one based on their work not their father or mother or sister or brother or cousin or aunt!!! Doing so will only discredit your arguments!  

I asked for funnier jokes Mr Mostofi AND

indisputable evidence - not your own made up jokes.

You used to be funnier than this. 

A: Lol. Google it. You will

A: Lol. Google it. You will find my articles. Ah bless you are so predictable.

@alimostofi

This joke is no longer funny Mr Mostofi

None of your claims are supported by evidence and no surprise that you have been ignored by the main player for the last two decades! I am not stalking you but as I have demonstrated on several occasions in your mind fiction is passed off as fact.  You have no clue about Persian culture, monarchy, history (ancient/modern), language, litertature, religion and politics. All these are made up in your mind and appear to you as facts. 

Either provide indisputable evidence to support your sofar bogus claims or come up with funnier jokes.

Thank you!

Arash you are right. But he

Arash you are right. But he needs to be less political and more cultural. He is actually afraid of representing the Royal Institution to Iranians, even though, as you say, the people love Iranian culture as shown and personified through him.

I have told him for twenty years to talk of his mandate as the vanguard of Iranian culture. But he wants to approach the whole matter from a universal human rights perspective.

He is the King. He decides. But the Royal Institution has a mandate no matter who is in charge.

Let me tell you of something rare. You all know of Darius the Great. What if I told you that the real King of Iran was who we nowadays call Buddha. Yes Guamata and Guatama are the same. We know how Buddhism has flourished.

Iranian ancient spirit will follow who ever takes charge of the throne. And will honour ancient sages.

There is a lot to Iran that has not been fully reported like Alexander the Great was half Persian.

Much is at stake if the Royal Institution comes back. Much will be rewritten. Many will lose out.

I am off on one of my tangents. The Moon is in Pisces or Esfand.

Reza Pahlavi is loved by millions

Regardless of the nonsense comments about Reza Pahlavi, he is loved by absolute millions of people in Iran. As the political changes are sweeping across Middle East the same old voices that was heard before 1979 are now deafening our ears. Reza Pahlavi is not only loved by older generations but also very much by the younger ones. 

Reality Check

just read this article posted by a group of youht from inside Iran and then

Think again

هنوز هم همان روشنفکر نمایان سال 57 و یاران کراواتی خمینی که در ساختن این انقلاب و این سیه روزی ملی نقشی اساسی و کلیدی داشتند بعد از سی وسه وسال واندی بگونه ای مغرضانه و احمقانه میخواهند هم تاریخ را تحریف کنند وهم خدمات رضاشاه بزرگ ومحمد رضاشاه فقید در زیر پوسته ای از غرض ورزیهای جاهلانه محو نمایند.

ببینید غرض ورزی شان تا کجاست که حتی به ایران ونجات ایران فکر نمیکنند چون میدانند که از نظر وزنه سیاسی وارائه نظرات واندیشه های آزادیخوانه بمعنای واقعی حتی قابلیت رو درروئی گفتمانی و از زیر سقف نشستن با شاهزاده رضا پهلوی اکراه دارند و همه تلاششان بزعم خودشان مخدوش کردن سخنان بی نظیر و بی بدیل رضاپهلوی در مورد آزادی ایران است.

آنها چقدر جاهلند وبی خبر که نمی فهمند ونمی دانند که نسل جوان درون ایران چه ارتباط تنگاتنگی با نظرات و تفکرات آزادمنشانه شاهزاده رضا پهلوی بر قرار نموده تا جائی که رژیم حتی درپارکها با گماشتن گزمه های هار از جمع شدن سه جوان پیشگیری میکند واگر لازم باشد به تفتیش بدنی آنها میپردازد که شاید سی دی یا تصاویر شاهزاده را از جیبشان بیرون بیاورد.

نگاه کنید به موضع گیری های روشنفکران و مفسرینی چون بهرام مشیری که غرض . مرض از سر وپایش میریزد. من میپرسم : چرا افرادی چون دکتر میلانی ها و علمداری ها واسد همایون ها و حسن شریعتمداری ها و گنج بخش ها و جماعت به اصطلاح جمهوری خواهان حتی از نشستن با چنین شخصیتی فراری هستند؟؟؟ مگر شاهزاده رضا پهلوی بجز آزادی و استقرار دمکراسی در کشور سخن دیگری بر زبان آورده است ومیاورد. وزنه کاریزمای این شخصیت تا آنجا قابل مقایسه با آن دیگران نیست که با قاطعیت اعلام میکند که اگر پس از آزادی ایران ، ملت ایران در یک رفراندوم واقعی ونه مثل نمایش خمینی ملعون حتی به جمهوری ایرانی ونه با محتوای ایدئولوژیک رای بدهند ایشان به هشتاد وپنج در صد آرزوهایش رسیده. چون ایشان بارها اعلام نموده که در شرایط کنونی جائی برای طرح اینکه در آینده چه نوع حکومتی بر ایران حکومت کند نیست.

امروز اولویت اول خاموش کردن آتشی است که دارد هر روز شالوده های اساسی کشور را به خاکستر بدل میکند. ونه جنگ قدرت برای نوع نظام حکومتی.مگر همین خانمها و آقایان مدعی اپوزیسیون در خارج نشسته برای مردم وحقوق آنها حنجره پاره نمیکنند؟؟ مگر قرارنیست که پس از فروریزی این عمارت ظلم وبزیر کشیدن این قوم وقبیله پست ورذل وآدمکش و دزد ، در یک فضای آزاد مردم به حاکمیت آینده شان رای بدهند ونوع آنرا انتخاب نمایند؟؟؟

پس درد این مغرضین بگفته شاهزاده رضا پهلوی ژنتیکی در چیست؟؟ دراینست که آنها از هم اکنون بخود وعده داده اند که ملت ایران با هزینه وبا نثار خون خود این حکومت فاسد را به گودال عمیق تاریخ بیندازد واین آقایان دکتر و مهندس بیایند و میراث دار ودایه این ملت بشوند. خانمها - آقایان کور خوانده اید. همین چند شب پیش حسن شریعتمداری در برنامه ای که در تلویزیون آمریکا با شاهزاده داشتند، با اینکه میدانستند نظرات ایشان در مورد انتخاب ملت در فردای مرگ جمهوری اسلامی چیست، و رای مردم به جمهوری باشد ، شاهزاده رضا پهلوی به 85 درصد آرزوی خود رسیده است. اما آقای شریعتمداری، حتی اکراه داشت که در مقابل این نظریه با شفافیت اعلام نماید که اگر ملت ایران در یک رفراندوم به پادشاهی پارلمانی رای بدهند و پادشاه نماد وسمبل وحدت ملی باشد ، او ودوستان جمهوری خواهش هم به نه 85 درصد ، که به 50 درصد آرزویشان رسیده اند ودر مقابل رای مردم تمکین خواهند نمود، اینقدر شجاعت وشهامت و اتوریته یک بازیگر سیاسی را نداشت که چنین سخنی را بر زبان بیاورد که میتوان حدس زد هراس اینها واینهمه سنگ اندازی در راه تشکیل یک شورای ملی متشکل از همه نیروهای بواقع آزادیخواه که شاهزاده دیر زمانیست وجود آنرا یک واجب ملی اعلام کرده اند، از چه روست؟

خانمها - آقایان مدعی آزادیخواهی بسیاری از شما دروغ میگوئید . اگر حقیقت سر لوحه کارتان بود این ملت باید سالها پیش از این از شر این حکومت خلاص میشد. خودتان میدانید که حتی 5 درصدتان نه وزنه سیاسی شاهزاده رضا پهلوی را دارا هستید و نه مقبولیتی در آن حد از منظر ملت ایران دارید. چه اگر مقبولیتی داشتید ، دست از غرض ورزی ها وشیطنت بر میداشتید وبخود می قبولاندید که در چنین شرایطی هر کسی به سهم خودش باید عقاید مسلکی و حزبی ومنافع گروهی را کنار بگذارد وبه ایران وآزادی ایران فکر کند. همان اندیشه ای که شاهزاده رضا پهلوی سالیان درازیست برزبان رانده وبر هیچ ایرانی آزادیخواهی پوشیده نمانده ونخواهد ماند.

ایران، نسل سوخته

Eton accent is far too nasal

Eton accent is far too nasal and snobbish. The same is true of some Persian accents. Masalan eroonihayeh lasanjelesi kheyli "like" megan vasateh jomblehayeh farsi. Ma landaniha "know wot i meen" megeem.

I love finglish. So yeah language is all changing. Gotta go with the times u know. Its all #hashtags etc

Even the Brits rejected this bunkum and ditched the candidate

Back in 1941 when Reza Shah was deposed the Brits thought of restoring the disgraced Qajar dynasty and despatched Anthony Eden to explore the idea. At a lunch meeting Eden who had studied Persian at Oxford found, to his great dismay, that the candidate to replace the Pahlavis, Hamid Mirza, aka, David Drummond, could not speak Persian half as good as Eden!  

So, under a future King Mostofi!! (who is not even a Prince by Qajari standards) Iranians subjects need to learn English to understand their king clearly!!

Personally. I'd rather see Eden and his offspring on the Persian throne. At least they speak Oxford English in Eton accent! 

Am I the only one?

I am not getting paid for my contributions here!

Who pays more? RP or the IRI lobby?

Where do you apply?

Anybody knows?

A king needs to be clear.

A king needs to be clear. That is what all leaders are. They are clear.

Hala ino be farsi begeem. Shahanshah bayasti bazeh bayan bekonad.

Compare the two. The English is simple and acceptable.

The Persian version needs to be more sophisticated to be accepted.

There lies the intrinsic problem with Persian. We like to complicate things before we accept them.

Surely a potential future king of Persia

must be able to write and read in his/her mother tongue. May I repeat my request Mr Mostofi, please?

Persian input is tough on

Persian input is tough on this Android. I know what you are hinting at. Of course I can write in Persian. But I think Persian is not a very practical language. Or should we say it is not as clear and simple as English. And that is one of the major stumbling blocks. Just look at this article's sentences. They are a mile long. We all really need to be more concise and precise.

Can you write the same comment in Persian - the language of your culture?
