In the recent months, pressure on Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi and multiple campaigns of defamation and sabotage by demagogues and political dwarfs have been astounding. A herd of spiteful charlatans in collaboration with delusional regime infiltrators endeavor to change the Iranian society’s view of the Pahlavi Dynasty. Yet, given their pretentiousness and display of ignorance, they will get nowhere.

Prince Reza Pahlavi is the only individual within the opposition personalities who has a palpable political standing and credibility among the people of Iran. This, of course, is intolerable for the Islamic Republic regime’s reformist faction and its henchmen abroad, as well as to ethnic separatists, and mouthpieces exported by the regime to the West. Like the Tudeh Party (communists) and ideological terrorist factions of the 1979 mutiny whose sole intent was to tarnish and erase the Pahlavi name, they are trying to discredit and disgrace the Crown Prince. As with the 1979 Islamo-Marxist revolution, the price of this malign operation will indeed be paid by the oppressed people of Iran.

Fortunately, these efforts are likely to be futile.

Pahlavi represents a glorious history and a unique brand. Today, as the Islamic Republic regime is in a state of decay, the only person who can see the people through the rocky and tumultuous path of regime change in Iran without the nation falling victim to a potential bloodbath and chaos by underground terrorist groups, is Reza Pahlavi.

The West-based media outlets of the “reformists,” suspected to be influenced by the Islamist regime’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security, have declared war on the Prince, his friends, associates, and supporters to omit the Pahlavi name from the arena of contemporary Iranian politics. This new phase of sabotage is undoubtedly concocted in the “situation rooms” of the regime and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Even some of the reformists’ loudmouths and demagogues are attempting to boycott and censor the Crown Prince so that the idea of nationalism and Iran-centric thinking do not spread among Iran’s younger generation.

A group that has no standing, credibility, or influence themselves initially tried to stand alongside the Prince to gain acceptance and absorb status, only to stab him in the back in the end. Such is, unfortunately, the custom of the Third World and the Middle East.

Some of these sociopathic opportunists are looking to force the largely despised and infamous terrorist separatist organizations like Komala and the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan into a “new coalition” with nationalists. With a new show and spectacle, they try to deceive the Iranian people and divert their focus from overthrowing the Islamist regime. For the time being, the first and foremost priority for these bankrupt demagogues is to fight against and counter Pahlavi, not Khamenei or the IRGC.

The Islamic Republic’s reformist faction and their propagandists exported abroad are currently the biggest obstacle to democracy and regime change in Iran. In collaboration with Marxist and woke cliques largely based in Europe, the reformists have surrounded themselves with a group of political outcasts and throwaways in Washington and Toronto, and have embarked on a mission to subvert the downfall of the regime by discrediting the authentic Iranian opposition. Along this path, they have been boosted by London-based Persian-language networks and abetted by the Islamist/Stalinist terrorist cult, the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization.

Collectively, these misfits and their interlocutors constitute the cult of lunacy.

This cult has no affection for or interest in Iran as a nation and hence, do not want a political and national centrality to form around the Pahlavi brand. They are exploiting Iran and its people for their own benefit. Without furnishing a shred of evidence, they make grotesque accusations against the Prince and his inner circle, such as being sympathetic to the IRGC.

Still, the people of Iran call the Pahlavi name in the streets and under brutal scrutiny of the regime, publish video clips from inside Iran displaying reverence for the Crown Prince and the Pahlavi Royal Family. Dozens of activists are currently in prison with no prospect of release or a fair judicial proceedings, merely for supporting Prince Reza Pahlavi. Like Khamenei’s hooligans, the cult of lunacy, however, is intent on silencing them and a nation that longs for liberty and democracy.

And that is a delusion inherent to a lunatic.
