On The Problem with Iran’s Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi by Michael Rubin

Recommendable! I am also not convinced to bring in this crown prince unless for a transition period or so. Maybe he is not up to the job to turn Iran into a modern, moderate, democratic and peaceful country.

The crown prince is now in the news almost every day!

"Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi is, without doubt, Iran’s most recognizable opposition figure. ... 

Ironically, one major problem is his obsession with not repeating his father’s mistakes. Organizing the Iranian diaspora and internal opposition can be like herding cats. Reza Pahlavi, however, chooses not to wrangle them for fear of the dictator label. At times, such passivity can be valuable; at other times, however, it appears cowardly, if not negligent. The Islamic Republic fears unity of purpose among anti-regime Iranians; unfortunately, Pahlavi has given them little about which to worry… yet. ..."

What do citizens prefer? A government run by mediocre, lifelong career politicians or by capable business minded individuals fairly new to elected office, and ready to implement urgent reforms?

We will find out!

But the chances are very good that the example of Argentina's President Milei and the US President Trump to sway citizens of Western countries to study these two governments and compare them with their own government or to demand similar reforms.

Germany is another basket case in point. The current political leadership (too many mediocre, lifelong career politicians) of this country is in shambles!
