Iran Shah Heir Plots Overthrow of Regime

Reza Pahlavi

Story here. h/t: Drudge

Reza Pahlavi, son of the late Shah of Iran, told the editors of HUMAN EVENTS last week that in the next two to three months he hopes to finalize the organization of a movement aimed at overthrowing the Islamic regime in Tehran and replacing it with a democratic government.

(...)

He believes the cause is urgent because of the prospect that Iran may soon develop a nuclear weapon or the U.S. may use military force to preempt that. He hopes to offer a way out of this dilemma: a revolution sparked by massive civil disobedience in which the masses in the streets are backed by elements of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

Read it all! There's an interview and he has interesting things to say. He wants real democracy for Iran. He supports Israel's right to exist and says Israel's never been a threat to anyone. He says Iran doesn't need WMDs.

A worthy read.
Hope he's able to do it fast... as time is preciously short!
