He's not his father, but his father's legacy has aspects which are worth reflecting on. In order for the 1979 revolution to succeed, the Pahlavi years had to reach a nadir for violence, corruption and indefensible governance of their people.
Thank you. I nearly posted the exact same link when I submitted this video, because the interview sugarcoats that. I decided against it because I like what I have seen of Reza Pahlavi so far, and didn't want to suggest otherwise.

Fair. I suspect it's impossible for a Pahlavi to be a unifying figure, but stranger things have happened.
This is a repost, since there's a real possibility Pahlavi will be in charge of Iran this year.
