Late shah’s son hails Iran’s ’revolution for and by women’ | AFP

The son of the late shah hails Iran’s mass protests as a landmark revolution by women and urges the world to add to the pressure on the clerical leadership. Reza Pahlavi, whose father was toppled in the Islamic Revolution of 1979, calls for greater preparation for a future Iranian system that is secular and democratic. “It is truly in modern times, in my opinion, the first revolution for the women, by the women -- with the support of the Iranian men, sons, brothers and fathers,“ Pahlavi, who lives in exile in the Washington area, tells AFP.
