Reza Pahlavi Stands at the Threshold of History — The Legacy of Mohammad Reza Shah and Reza Shah Demand Nothing Less "A son does not choose his father's legacy. He chooses what he does with it." — Diesel the Magus Two Fathers. One Flame. One Son. Before we speak of Reza Pahlavi's future, we must speak of his fathers. Both of them. Not just Mohammad Reza Shah — the last Shah of Iran, the man who stood at the top of the most powerful Persian state since the Achaemenids, the man who tried to lead a civilization into the modern world and was destroyed by the forces of Druj before he could finish the task. But also Reza Shah — the soldier who came from nothing, who rose through the ranks of a crumbling military, who grabbed a broken nation by its shoulders in 1921 and said: not like this. We are better than this. Persia is better than this. Two extraordinary men. Two builders.
