The madness of cheering for Reza Pahlavi
‘It’s biblical’: Maga anxiety over Iran war on display at CPAC as Trump skips event.
The war was, in many ways, front and center at CPAC, largely thanks to heavy attendance by supporters of Iran’s former crown prince Reza Pahlavi. They lined the road to the hotel venue with the flags of Israel, the United States and Iran during the time of the Shah, and delivered rapturous applause when he addressed the convention.
“Donald Trump will not lose”, said 73-year-old Mehrdad Ghafar, who grew up in Iran but fled after the revolution, and appeared at CPAC wearing a cap reading: “Make Iran great again”.
“He has gone through all these kind of wars bigger than this, and he came out successful,” he said.

Mohammad Mosaddegh was the first and only democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran in 1951.
Because he wanted to nationalise Iranian oil for the Iranian people, the CIA staged a coup and installed the brutal dictatorship of the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. It was this brutal regime that fermented the Islamic Revolution in what the CIA term as ‘blowback’.
We would’t be dealing with a medieval Theocracy in the first place if the CIA hadn’t played God in Iran!
Reza Pahlavi is the son of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and has all the legitimacy of the Vichy French Regime.
To pretend to champion democracy using the puppet regime that took over from the first legitimate democratically elected Government is an audacity only Republicans can pull off without laughing.
Promoting a crown prince from a former coup by a Party led by a mad orange fascist during No King protests, how American.
