This comment is weird. The Shah's son != the Shah. Reza Pahlavi left Iran when he was 17. The Shah fell the following year. All of the issues that you raise are perpetrated by his father. His son was not responsible.

    > What he says he's planning and what he will do are not necessarily the same thing.

Not much being said here. This is true for anybody anywhere anytime. You might as well write: true == true.
