US is to out of touch with reality, they want to put a Zionist who is generally hated by Iranians in power. Will never happen.

> who is generally hated by Iranians in power.

So that’s why said Iranians chant Javid Shah?

  • Iranian here, the Shah has surprisingly many supporters, both inside and abroad.

    Iran is a big complex country and is more diverse than people think.

    • When someone from the ME comments on a story about the ME, it is customary on HN for the community to downvote them into oblivion.

Exactly, I have a hard time seeing how that will ever play out how they want.

The whole reason the 1979 revolution happened in the first place was because the Shah was a blatant US/Israeli puppet

  • You've missed the part where islamist butchered the leaders of the actual 1979 revolution. In reality it was:

    unpopular shah -> 1979 revolution -> islamists take control, prison and kill the leftists of 1979 revolution.

It worked with Machado, so why wouldn't it work with... oh wait. We're governed by a shadowy criminal network of idiots.
