Again, during such a historic time, where millions of Iranians have been marching for weeks throughout Iran, demanding an end to the Islamic Republic and chanting for the Crown Prince @PahlaviReza, Azizi continues to smear Iranians and the genuine opposition.

Read on why: Image He makes several false statements, one being that this is the “first time” Iranians chanted for an opposition leader abroad.

In reality, Iranians have been chanting for the Crown Prince for years in ever increasing numbers and frequency, and this is properly documented and something you’d expect this “academic” to know.Image

Pay attention to who mirrors the classic talking points of the Islamic Republic, & consistently spends more time attacking Iranians & their true voice & representative, Reza Shah II.

It is not a coincidence but rather coordinated efforts to smear & demonize a genuine movement. Image

Pay attention

In October of 1971, Iran celebrated the 2500th Anniversary of the Founding of the Persian Empire by Cyrus The Great.

When asked what enduring value such celebrations will have for Iran, The Shahanshah Aryamehr responded with such inspiring & important words that still apply: The celebrations held in 1971, grabbed the attention of the world & put them on notice of Iran’s revival, progress, & beautiful past.

Many heads of state, political & cultural figures, academics, business leaders, & journalists from around the world participated eagerly.

The Shah & The Pahlavi Government actively sought to reduce the power & influence of oil companies in Iran.

The Shah made it clear that the oil contracts of the major 7 sisters would not be renewed — which were set to expire in 1979. Many of the policies put forth by the Shah & Pahlavi Government focused on independence, self-reliance, & prioritized Iran.

For instance, Iran was a major player in OPEC & consistently pushed for higher oil prices —moves that the West & other players were very much against.
