The Islamic Revolution in Iran is a more relevant historical event for the 21st century than the Russian Revolution.

“I would say the Islamic revolution in Iran is much more relevant in the 21st century than the Russian revolution”

This sense of the world divided into rival forces of good and ”

The Iranian Revolution was a chaotic and destructive event that, in retrospect, left Iran in a worse position than it was under the Shah.

“are you at a point where you're able to say if the revolution didn't happen and the shaw stayed there the Middle East would not only be more at peace but millions of other people would still be alive”

The Iranian revolution is being led by Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, whose leadership is established by the widespread chanting of his name by the Iranian people.

“His leadership in the revolution has been established beyond any shadow of doubt.”

Reza Pahlavi is not an effective leader because he fails to unify diverse opposition factions and instead pursues self-aggrandizement.

“If he was a good leader instead of going out and saying JUST GO AND SAY king and just push his minions to go there and just bring up his photo and going to all interviews and saying the people called me, the people called my name like like a kid. He's going around and say the people chanted my name.”
