This is the elder daughter of Reza and Yasmine
She's worse than I had thought !
Monarchists [a negative term today for most people, having seen how outrageously rude they are, full of swear words, abuse, etc for anyone not fawning all over the Pahlavi family] breathlessly proclaim ridiculous things that won't come to pass :
"She will soon be the Princess of Iran. Listen to Noor Pahlavi interviewed by the great LisaDaftari"

Comment :
"Does she speak Persian? No.
Does she have any understanding of Iran's society, culture, history, politics? I don't think so.
Does she have any plans for political participation...? No.
Does she have any expertise, education, or experience to rule on a complicated system like in Iran? No...
She and her sisters are Absolutely Clueless about Iran!"

Re: Iran commentary by top observers
Pic is from the very same Noor Pahlavi's x account, spouting sheer nonsense. Like this poster below says, they can't accept the reality of the defeat of the Pahlavi monarchists.
By the way, there are OTHER monarchists, too : Iranians claiming to be descendants of the previous Qajar dynasty.
But that is a shady deal, because there were literally thousands of "Qajar Princes", and many Iranians exile have made this claim with little verifiability.
Bottom line : Never believe an Iranian telling you he is a Qajar prince. Highly unlikely.
"When I or others tell you that “Iranian” diaspora monarchists are deranged desperate lunatics with serious mental health issues, this is the kind of unhinged delusional behaviour we’re referring to.
Literally inventing insane alternate realities to cope with the actual reality."

Re: Iran commentary by top observers
Last 2 sentences are the most important in the sense of being unique perspectives
"For a minute, I thought Trump exhibited independence from Israel when he pivoted away from striking Iran last week.
But I’d have to agree with Prof. Jiang Xueqin’s theory that U.S. strikes were called off when Iran was able to shut down Starlink and they lost all communications with and tracking of Mossad agents on the ground.
Probably also why Lindsey Graham met with the head of Mossad today in Israel.
Prepare for a reset of war propaganda, they’re not done trying to regime change Iran and provoke WW3.
We don’t hate Israel enough.
They are distracting our attention on ICE instead so we won’t drag Zionist-puppets out of congress."

Re: Iran commentary by top observers
I wanted to explain about Ashraf. She and the Shah were twins.
It was said by people that she was a better, bolder leader than the shy Shah [tongue twister !]
When the Shah went to meet Stalin in Russia, Ashraf went along.
Stalin, according to her story, was so impressed by Ashraf's boldness in defending Iran's interests that the Soviet leader gave her a fur coat as a gift. Whether this is true, I don't know. It doesn't SOUND like the horrible dictator, but maybe...
I well remember reading that vignette in the book.
But her reputation became terrible in the later years of the Shah's reign. She was linked to all sorts of bad schemes such as the incident above.
Ashraf was considered ruthless, and crazy to get money.
According to the respected Spanish newspaper El Pais, the Shah took $4 Billion out of Iran with him. If this assertion is true, there was plenty to go around for the entire family and descendants.
It's said that Reza Pahlavi is always short of cash, however. People speculate, though, that his bac-up option is his son-in-law. We'll get to that later.

"A message to the supporters of Reza Pahlavi"
[i.e., the TRUTH behind the flag his supporters fly all over the place - it has ZERO to do with the Pahlavi dynasty.
It is a number of centuries older and comes from the Shia religion adopted by the Safavid dynasty.
Here is Shah Ismail Safavi, who ruled 1501 - 1524
Note the rings of turquoise, found in Eastern Iran, and carnelian, which Shia men always wear.
Before that, Iran had always been Sunni !]
