The Rastakhiz party died with the fall of the Shah. Interestingly enough,
it's the political party that the Shah forced every Iranian to join out of
compulsory allegiance to him, but the Baha'is refused to do so out of their
obligation to not intervene in politically

Well, I mean the official Rastakhiz party created by the Shah. I hadn't seen

Reza Pahlavi was about 19 when his father died in exile. I'm sure he
would like to be king, but he has lived most of his adult life in
Southern California. It is not exactly as though he has the skills or
background to rule Iran.
The Baha'i Studies Listserv
Yes, but the point is he think's he's entitled to rule via birth right
regardless of his aptitude for leadership. That is one of the flaws of
hereditary monarchy. Living in California will only increase his sense of
entitlement.

aspirations, etc., that he does not neccessarly feels he is entitled to the
throne (even though he is a prince) automatically.

Constitutional monarchy varies from country to country. Some have rubber stamp

Entitled according by what? There were only two Pahlavi monarchs who
ever sat on the throne.

He is in Maryland now, but he attended to USC and previously I had
always heard stories about him going grocery shopping in Southern
California in his tee shirt. He wasn't a child when he left Iran, he
was in his late teens.

The Pahlavi Dynasty was an absolutist not a constitutional monarchy.

The re-estabishment of the monarchy worked well for Spain, after
Franco. The point of having a monarch is not that he/she rules
particularly well, but rather that the country does not have an
elected president.
The difference between Spain and Iran is that the

Without commenting on Reza Pahlavi's potential future role in Iran, I
too have been very impressed with his Persian and ability to think
critically and clearly about many issues. He's a very bright and well
read individual.
