"Pahlavi is, in every respect, the classic failson. He has never held a job, never led a serious organization, and never managed to cultivate meaningful political support among Iranians inside the country. For years, his appearances have been carefully managed within a small media bubble, usually among doting sycophants and sympathetic right-wing hosts aligned with the neoconservative project of US-led regime change."
