Statement from the members of the Board.
We welcome the peaceful transition of Americas de jure and de facto power from the former Burgerian regime to the new Democratic order. Our hope for the future is a long and prosperous relationship and to build a new future jada jada and so on and so on. This is a crucial moment for the whole world or whatever.

Mohammad Reza wanted to go back to Mexico, saying he had pleasant memories of Cuernavaca, but was refused. Mexico was a candidate to be a rotating member of the UN Security Council, but needed the vote of Cuba to be admitted, and the Cuban leader Fidel Castro told President José López Portillo that Cuba's vote was conditional on Mexico not accepting the Shah again.
He left the United States on 15 December 1979 and lived for a short time in the Isla Contadora in Panama. This caused riots by Panamanians who objected to the Shah being in their country. General Omar Torrijos, the dictator of Panama, kept Mohammad Reza Shah as a virtual prisoner at the Paitilla Medical Center, a hospital condemned by the former Shah's US doctors as "an inadequate and poorly staffed hospital", and in order to hasten his death allowed only Panamanian doctors to treat his cancer.
General Torrijos, a populist left-winger, had only taken in Mohammad Reza under heavy US pressure, and he made no secret of his dislike of Mohammad Reza, whom he called after meeting him "the saddest man he had ever met". When he first met Mohammad Reza, Torrijos taunted him by telling him "it must be hard to fall off the Peacock Throne into Contadora" and called him a chupon, a Spanish slang term for "someone who is finished".
Torrijos added to Mohammad Reza's misery by making his chief bodyguard a militantly Marxist sociology professor who spent much time lecturing Mohammad Reza on how he deserved his fate because he had been a tool of the "American imperialism" that was ostensibly oppressing the Third World, and charged Mohammad Reza a monthly rent of US$21,000, making him pay for all his food and the wages of the 200 National Guardsmen assigned as his bodyguards.
President Carter did not wish to admit Mohammad Reza to the US but came under pressure from Henry Kissinger, who phoned Carter to say he would not endorse the SALT II treaty that Carter had just signed with the Soviet Union unless the former Shah was allowed into the United States, reportedly prompting Carter more than once to hang up his phone in rage in the Oval Office and shout "Fuck the Shah!".
On 22 October 1979, President Jimmy Carter reluctantly allowed the Shah into the United States to undergo surgical treatment at the Weill Cornell Medical Center. While there, Mohammad Reza used the name of "David D. Newsom," Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs at that time, as his temporary code name, without Newsom's knowledge. Mohammad Reza's time in New York was highly uncomfortable; he was under a heavy security detail as every day, Iranian students studying in the US gathered outside his hospital to shout "Death to the Shah!", a chorus that Mohammad Reza heard.
Holy shit that part of him being lectured by a Marxist professor is so funny, I love this so much
Aspirational
Yeah, we're getting gaslit about this guy from Swedish press right now. No mention of his familys brutality and corruption.
More like exiled CLOWN prince!
We are all the transitional leader of Iran. Nobody knows it. Not even us.
"I didn't receive it, I accepted it"
I also accept the role of Iran's transitional leader
Of what?
I love his face there, it looks like even he can't believe what he is saying.
He looks like he jumps out from under bridges to ask you a riddle
They should drop him in the middle of Tehran and see what happens.
Transitional leader? I sleep
Transitioning leader? Real shit
This feels like the perfect opportunity to try the first AI government amirite
He was Guaido before Guaido
Reza would never be allowed to assume that title for real, even by the Americans. Just like for Juan Guido, the reality is that the most effective way for the Americans to get a good result from toppling a foreign govt is to let said govt pick the successor-collaborator itself.
Machado, Pahlavi… whata cast of clowns
He looks like a fucking clown
lmao
Teehee how embarrassing
Y'all say you're woke, but y'all are talking real down about an Oblivion NPC finally getting their shot. Don't think we don't notice.
