An exiled prince and an ex-president are among the top contenders who could ascend to power in Iran if its Islamist regime topples after over four decades of repressive rule, experts told The Post. One name that has reemerged is Reza Pahlavi, the former crown prince who fled to the United States in his teens a year before his family’s dynastic rule was overthrown in the revolution of 1979. Pahlavi, 65, who now lives in Maryland, has been cultivating relations with DC officials and the Iranian diaspora ever since.
