Pahlavi ‘royals’ pay for crimes against Iranians

Rehmat's World



Last week, Prince Ali Reza Pahlvi committed suicide at his home in Boston. He was the younger son of Emperor of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlvi, who was ousted by millions of protestors yearning for an Islamic State in 1979.

A puppet of the US and Britain – Mohammad Reza Pahlvi ruled with iron fist for decades. His tyranical rule was supported by the US and Israel. His royal bodyguards, his secret police, SAVAK was all trained by both CIA and Mossad. Its torture methods were the hallmark of Israel Mossad which has perfected it on tens of thousand of its Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners.
As Muslim scholars believe that crimials pay for their crimes both in this life and the life after death. The Shah of Iran spent his last days of his life seeking refuge in several countries. His best friends, both Israel and the US refused to accept him. He died within one year of his humiliating exile. Princess Ashraf, the shah’s twin sister, a once-sinister figure known as Iran’s “black panther,” has suffered through depressions and addictions, three failed marriages, and the assassination of one of her sons. Shah’s daughter, Leila, was found dead in a London hotel room in 2001 after taking an overdose of barbiturates.

Stephen Kinzer, a Jewish American journalist and author, who is critical of US foreign policy, especially toward Islamic Republic, Turkey, Lebanon and Israel Occupied Territories – because he believes that such policy gives rise to Islamic movements which are against US administrations and the Zionist-regime. He also believe that sanctions against Islamic-regime will never succeed in bringing a ‘regime-change’. However, he is quite optimistic about the regime change from within the country on “Iranian pace and not through foreign actions”. During his last year visit to Iran – repotedly, he was surprised to find out that even the people who were part of anti-Ahmadinejad protests – agree with government’s policy to continue country’s nuclear program ignoring the foreign threats. In his earlier article he wrote that the so-called “Green revolution is dead, atleast for the time-being”.

On January 5, 2011 – Stephen Kinzer wrote on the suicide of Ali Reza.

“The prince’s older brother, Crown Prince Reza, lives near Washington and periodically offers himself as a future shah of Iran. Prince Ali Reza never indulged in this fantasy, at least not in public, but he once said that bringing “freedom and democracy” to Iran was his “unique mission in life.”

One can only imagine the demons that tormented this exiled prince while he was cloistered in his darkened South End townhouse before taking his own life at the age of 44. He died in the manner of a soldier who cannot bear dishonor and disgrace, of a single shot to the head.”
