I no longer believe Pahlavi believes in or cares about democracy. He wants to make sure he’s the only force in play when the regime falls, though it’s very hard to imagine him doing anything decisive or effective. He’s no Reza Shah.

Members of Pahlavi’s circle are also fighting each other on TV.
Pahlavi cannot manage a small group of advisors. How can he lead the opposition or even Iran?
