Mohammad Pahlavi

Mohammad Pahlavi, son of the last Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, has expressed his readiness to lead Iran in the event of the fall of the current theocratic regime. Living in exile in the United States, he has been vocal about his vision for a democratic Iran and has called for peaceful protests and political disengagement from the current government. Despite having some support among the Iranian diaspora, he remains largely unpopular within Iran, where the populace has only known the Islamic Republic for over four decades.
