“I want to be back by your side as soon as possible”: this is Reza Pahlavi (65), the man the world is looking to to take power in Iran

“Marg bar Dīktātor. Marg bar Khamenei. Death to the dictator. Death to Khamenei.” That slogan is being heard more and more often throughout Iran. But also — more unexpectedly — “Javid chah. Long live the Shah.” Unexpected, because it is a statement of support for Reza Pahlavi (65), the son of the maligned shah (emperor) Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. And now the whole world is looking to him to take over power in the country from which he and his father were expelled 45 years ago. A portrait.
