Pahlavi may not be ‘right man’ to lead post-regime Iran, Conricus tells TML - interview

The Jerusalem Post

The former Israeli military spokesperson cautioned against reinstating a monarchy in Iran, warning that any popular attempt to overthrow the government may be violent

“I don’t think that the outcome of whatever happens should be reinstituting the monarchy in Iran, because that regime was a failed and corrupt regime that didn’t do well by the Iranian people,” he added. “And I think a lot of Iranians my age and older remember that and they don’t want that to be the future and that to be the result.”

Conricus raised a variety of possibilities for a future Iranian state, including an Islamic democracy and “complete Western liberal democracy.” “But whatever happens, it has to be in the hands of the Iranian people,” he said. “It has to be an Iranian decision. It shouldn’t be something that is inserted from abroad, and it has to be a legitimate homegrown solution.”
