    I’m making assumptions because your words contradict history, if you’ve read any non colonial books you’d know better. Both good books (e.g. Orientalism by Edward Said) to see how this movie plays out, and bad books (e.g. Lion of Jordan: The Life of King Hussein in War and Peace by Avi Shlaim) to see how the progranda you’re spewing about the Shah gets disseminated and how it never reflects realty.

    democratic referendum with possible constitutional monarchy.

    That’s not on the table. That’s the rhetoric used to establish a US puppet monarch. See any of the"constitutional monarchies" you listed earlier.

    deserving better than the mullah.

    A US/Israel funded and backed monarch isn’t better.

    They broke with ISIS over ideological differences and disavowed any affiliation, it’s okay if they want to rehab their image to gain legitimacy and international recognition.

    Jesus Christ this hurts to read.

    Also, I don’t consume Israel’s propaganda

    You do, you just don’t recognize it.

    just because Israel is conducting opportunistic agitation

    Wow, that’s what you got out of it? The biased Israeli news I linked isn’t even that generous, you have to bend that far backwards to stay your ground?

    It’s okay to be wrong, it’s okay to recognize that you’re backing and defending a power hungry dictator, it’s okay to recognize you’re repeating talking points literally spread by Israel and generated by AI.

    I want self-determination for Iranians, and it doesn’t come through a US intervention installed puppet.
