A Marxist revolutionary fought Iran's shah, now his son backs the crown prince
IRAN AFFAIRS: Bijan Jazani became a symbol of Iran’s Marxist opposition after he was killed. Half a century later, his son tells the ‘Post’ why he has chosen to stand with Reza Pahlavi
Assessment
A generational pivot within Iran's opposition is unfolding. The son of a Marxist icon executed by the shah's regime now publicly supports the shah's son, Reza Pahlavi. This signals a potential realignment of anti-regime forces, where historical ideological divides are being set aside to unite against the current Islamic Republic. The key question is whether this symbolic endorsement can translate into broader political momentum.
