Why would the US want to support change in Iran when Trump closed a $100 Billion deal with Saudis to buy American weapons? 

Ex-Cop Joonam.

I try to explain this slowly to you so you can understand!

Trump sells Sunni muslim Arabs $120b worth of weapons, bringing jobs to US defense sector, helping my stock portfolio to continue on it north bound path!

Sunni muslims  use these weapons to kill shite muslim terrorists in Iran!  

Muslim Terrorists Killed , no US soldier harmed!

Comprehende? or do you want me to do it again slower??

:))

I would say win-win situation for us all, Zolfali!

"This paralysis of the opposition, which is greatly helped by Islamist fascists’ very able security services infiltrating the opposition groups, has been the primary reason for the absence of a credible alternative to status quo.

Interesting that you don't mention who inflitrated RP's inner circle ...

Nazilla Golestan secretary to IRI Revolutionary Guard Founder Mohsen Sazegara

Alireza Nourizadeh who turned a Persian Prince into an Arab Funded Prince

For Islamist fascists, the status quo believers and other anti-regime change actors, Prince Reza Pahlavi, whose position as an umbrella, a unifying pivot for all opposition groups - not to be mistaken with the critics, aka “reformers” - coupled with the possible change of American policy, all add up to more reasons for hating Reza Pahlavi."

If anyone is a Pro IRI infiltrator undermining the opposition it is no other than the "PRince" turned "Shahrvand" ( aka Citizen)  himself

Al Salamo Maleikom ! 

Darius,

I don’t know the background of this Nazilla Golestan, who you repeatedly vilify, and therefore seems to be if not the main reason, one of the primary one behind your newfound hatred of Prince Reza Pahlavi.

Given the pervious times when Islamist fascists successfully infiltrated the opposition, Prince Reza Pahlavi included, if you have verifiable evidence corroborating you charge that she is an infiltrator in the pay of the Islamist fascists’ security services, please share it.

Firstly What is your obsession with attributing my critics of RP with "hatred" ? 

This is not about hatred for who is he but for what he did and which is unforgivable be it from a constitutionalist and political point of view let alone historical  point of view  ... I explained it to you previously but since you never were a monarchist you fail to understand my point of view.

Feel free to accuse me of being an IRI apologist let alone "Fascist" ... My pedigree proves the opposite both in blood and in action.

As for what you don't know about the background of Nazilla Golestan that is very telling 

So you should not speak on things you hardly are an expert on.

You want to excuse her for not being guilty by association ? 

I accuse RP for choosing someone who has neither the qualification, the sensitivity let alone the history of an opponent to the IRI given her close connections with Sazegara which I first highlighted in 2010:

BHL Gathers Secular Opposition in Paris (June 11th, 2010 )

She was at this gathering with Nourizadeh ( also an anti monarchist and Pro Saudi  journalist) ... 

You want more evidence after this then you are looking for pretexts asking for proof that RP's secretaria has inflitrated the opposition.

If by Opposition you consider the anti Shah elements as part of the opposition then indeed we don't have the same understanding of the opposition. To me the likes of Nazilla Golestan, Nourizadeh or Sazegara let alone Maziar Bahari ( who is friends with the son of Ebrahim Yazdi and is close to NIAC) and runs IRanwire from which you quote so often ... then indeed we do not have the same understanding of who is in the opposition.

Same for Nikahang Kowsar whose close acquaintence with Rafsanjani's clan is well established .., You still want proof of that ? of of his editorial partner who dubs himself as Kaveh Ahangar both of whom are not monarchists ? But would like to see RP at best PResident ?

So indeed we do not have the same understanding of who and what the opposition to the IRI is ...

The only thing I can say is that You genuinly want the downfall of the IRI ... that is a common goal we share but where we differ is on the strategy and maybe even on the desired outcome.

I do not want the fall of the IRI at the expense of the territorial integrity of Iran based on RP's globalist agenda at the expense of his duty to restore the 1906 constitution and defending the concept of the monarchy beyond satisfying his Israeli or Saudi Masters or Western democracies because he is so ashamed to be the son of a monarch ( which in his mind after living for years in America unlike his illustrious mother he seems to think was some South American Dictator)  

Globalism in the context of the realities of the middle east is a threat.

I warned against RP's pro republican ( Jomhuryatkhah mentioned in his interview on VOA the links are available on my blogs and anti monarchist stance early on : JOMHURYATKHAH VS JOMHURYKHAH: UK & US Bill of Rights - Similarities & differences) which culminated in his interviews with Bijan Farhoudi and Radio Farda.

That you insist on apologizing RP for these interviews in which his clear rejection of his oath to my generation was explicitly mentioned was an official rejection of the 1906 constititon which goes agains the Shah;s last will.

Now if you don't understand that RP's role and duty was and is to defend that constitution from which his legitimacy derives from then that is due to your misunderstanding of what a monarchist and monarchical activism is all about.

I don't expect you to do because you were like Khosro Fakhravar an Americanophilic and democratophilic anti IRI activist which has nothing to do with defending what the last Shah adocated and demanded from his son.

So don't bring up your recurrent demand that I offer "evidence" corroborating of her IRI links

Nobody is saying these people are "agents" of the IRI .... we claim they were part and mingled with IRI elements and as such choosing them as close advisors and spokesperon of the "opposition" was a sign of corrupting the opposition with people with suspicious backgrounds.

I ask you what evidence do you have that these people are "clean" to replace people with a history of opposiiton to the IRI ... case to point the Minister of Health of Shapour Bakhtiar and the brother of General Razmara former PM of Iran slained by an Islamist ?

Your school of thought and supporters of RP many of whom were born before the revolution defend RP when even Razmara Accuses RP of treachery and you want us to trust Nazilla Golestan but accuse RAzmara of Fascism ?

What about the Singer Sattar ? Is he a "Fascist" too ?

So no the critics against RP are not coming from IRI establishment but genuiine opponents of the IRI ( which Golestan never was) who ultimately are  genuine monarchists 

But in your blind hatred of the IRI you have failed to see who is genuinely opposed to the IRI and who has inflitrated it because you yourself of a victim of this manipulation because you have failed to understand that the opposition to the IRI is not merely about "democracy" and "freedom" which without an ideological and historical assessement is nothing but a void argument which is already failing to rally and unite Iranians under the very umbrella RP claims to want to rally.

And yet  despite my explanation above I can second guess your answer in defense of RP and his unconstitutional shora ...

"You have offered no "evidence" to corroborate Nazilla Golestan on being on the IRI payroll" 

Well I suggest you to prove that Omid Dana, me, Sattar, Manoutchehr Razmara  or other vocal critics of RP and his unconstitutional shora are on the IRI payroll for which you have no proof either ...

Darius,

I have no idea what this accusing you of being anything but a patriotic Iranian comes from, certainly not me.

You made a charge against someone, who I do not know about her background, and I asked what you know. 

I still think this Reza Pahlavi hating, disliking, allergic reaction or whatever it is that you have developed towards him is a passing phase.

Again, if you know anything verifiable about her, please share it. 

No it is not a passing phase because his political agenda opposes his father's last will

As a Monarchist I am loyal to the father not the son ! 

And again this has nothing to do with "hate" but you and the pro Reza Pahlavi crowd siding with our ideological opponents as when doing propaganda for these  anti monarchist activists here and presenting them as part of the same "opposition" all in the name of "democracy" and "human rights" :

Read my comment !

Ok, I take that as no info on this woman who you said was an infiltrator. 

Take care. 

You are unable to read Fred 

But then you share that in common with your reformist friends ... JJ included
