Trump says he bombed Iran

[putnam6]

Why would they pick Reza Pahlavi?

Because #1 he has a significant following, and he wants to set up democratic elections, if the universities and academia get behind this.

Not to get all snooty, but it's the same nexus as before in 79, get enough of the masses to agree and run with it.

Just because it's going to be difficult as hell, doesn't mean the world should let the religious fanatical Ayatollah continue thier rule.

IIRC, Pahlavi wants to manage the transition to a real election, not sure he will even be a candidate. Depending on tenous the situation he might be the best rallying point.

Trump doesn't like the UK.

Because he can't bully us into another quagmire of a forever War, for which he would only insult our service men and women who would give their lives or get life changing injuries.

He spits on our supposed "Special Relationship" in his usual flip flopping spite if he doesn't get his own way.

He's no Eisenhower or Reagan.

No more foreign interventions or forever Wars?

How many campaign pledges is he going to renege on?

[Thetruth]

Trump pissed on the UK war dead in Iraq and Afghanistan  and then is surprised when the the UK doesn't want any part in his and Israel dumb war?

**** Trump and  **** isreal.

Why would they pick Reza Pahlavi?

Staunch opposition to the Islamic Republic.

Supports a Democratic transition for Iran.

Wants to align with the U.S., Israel and the rest of the western world.

Wants the entirety of the people of Iran to determine the nature of Iran's government.

If you think he gets it, $50 would return $5,000.

I just don’t think Iranian people will pick the son of the dictator before the ayatollah.

Maybe he talks about democracy, but out of all the people you could choose, I just don’t see the case on picking the descendant of another authoritarian chapter of your nations history.

Why do you care

If he is wrong, this kills the midterms MAGA loses, and we likely get a purple-haired President with a nose ring in 2028.

I kind of care when a draft dodging warmongeror pisses on the memory of our 437 service men and women who gave their lives fighting alongside the US and the even more who suffered life changing injuries wants us to get dragged into yet another forever War.

So he can go stick it where the Sun don't shine.

AGAIN, research his proposals

Yes, Reza Pahlavi has repeatedly and consistently committed to holding free and fair elections in Iran as a core part of his vision for the country's future following the fall of the current regime.
He positions himself not as a permanent ruler or restorer of the monarchy by default, but as a potential transitional leader or facilitator to guide Iran toward democracy. His stated plan includes:
• Drafting and ratifying a new constitution (likely via referendum).
• Holding free elections under international oversight/supervision.
• Allowing the Iranian people to decide the form of government (e.g., secular republic or constitutional monarchy) through the ballot box.
• Dissolving any transitional government once democratic institutions are in place and elections occur.
This commitment appears in multiple recent sources amid the ongoing crisis (following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in late February 2026):
• In a Washington Post op-ed (February 28, 2026), he wrote: "Our path forward is a new constitution followed by free elections under international oversight."
• In interviews (e.g., with CBS's 60 Minutes, ARD in Germany, and The Economist), he emphasized acting as a "neutral arbiter," overseeing free elections and a referendum, then transferring power to an elected parliament, with no personal ambition for long-term power.
• His Iran Prosperity Project blueprint outlines a transition involving a referendum on the system of government, followed by internationally supervised free elections.
• On his official website and public statements, he advocates for a "secular democratic Iran" where the people decide via free and fair elections, often highlighting four principles: territorial integrity, separation of religion and state, individual liberties, and the right to choose the government democratically.
Supporters on X (including many Iranian diaspora voices) frequently echo this, describing him as the bridge to "free elections" and a referendum. While some critics express skepticism about whether elections would truly be free if he leads the transition, his public positions show a clear, repeated pledge to democratic processes and ballot-box determination rather than imposed rule.
This aligns with his long-standing advocacy (dating back years) for secular democracy, human rights, and letting Iranians — not any single figure — ultimately decide their future.

Ok Capt. IBS

Pretty sure we covered this before and everything he said was actually factual, you just didn't like that HE said it.

Par for the course.

This is equivalent to Trump saying he's not going to break the speed limit only to later be forced to break the speed limit to save lives while you people piss and moan about him saying he reneged on not breaking the speed limit. 

Well, duh, what normal human being wouldn't do that to save people? Why is always the die hard tolerant loving ones who focus on the broken speed limit and not the lives saved? Y'all just need to give up on politics at this point, it's too obvious that Trump is hated by the radical left no matter what he does. Even when women get their rights back y'all complain. 

And furthermore, who gives a toss if he doesn't like the UK. Earn his respect if that's what's important to you, instead of acting like angry toddlers.
