La République islamique d'Iran a-t-elle peur de Reza Pahlavi ? - analyse
Depuis les manifestations de Jauary, les médias de la République islamique ont travaillé dur pour discréditer Pahlavi, suggérant que Téhéran croit toujours que convaincre les Iraniens de ne pas le suivre vaut l'effort.
Évaluation
Iranian state media is spending significant energy attacking Reza Pahlavi, which reveals more about Tehran's anxieties than about Pahlavi himself. The regime would not bother discrediting a figure it considered irrelevant. This suggests the opposition figure retains enough symbolic power to worry the Islamic Republic, especially after the protest movement that began in January. Watch whether this media campaign intensifies if domestic unrest flares again.
