The untimely demise of Khamenei delivers an eloquent message to would-be dictators who use secret police to murder protesters!
Has Iran even said thank you?

SAVAK
The organization became notorious for its extensive surveillance, repression, and torture of political dissidents. The Shah used SAVAK to arrest, imprison, exile, and torture his opponents, leading to widespread public resentment. This discontent was leveraged by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, then in exile, to build popular support for his Islamic philosophy.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAVAKSteve

The shah’s son, Reza Pahlavi, is being held in the wings by Trump for reinstallment in Iran.

The shah’s son, Reza Pahlavi, is being held in the wings by Trump for reinstallment in Iran."Prince Reza" has lived in the US for 45 years, taking occasional breaks to suck up to the Israelis.
During the protests in January, the Israelis openly said they had Mossad agents inciting the crowds in Iran. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the Mossad agents shouting Reza's name, which the western media mouthpieces claimed to have heard.
Reporting from Israeli media.
Analysis Israel Backs Reza Pahlavi to Rule Iran. That's a Dangerous Gamble
Netanyahu (with on-off support from Trump) is now explicitly pushing for regime change in Iran, and his government has fixated on the controversial, though galvanizing, son of the last shah as their post-Islamic Republic contender. Just don't mention his father's brutalityhttps://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/israel-securit...Pahlavi: Iran is 'not Iraq,' nation will hold free elections, establish ties with Israel
Pahlavi expressed immense gratitude to US President Donald Trump for his role in the operation and for his words of encouragement to Iran's citizens.https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/articl...Who would Reza serve, the people of Iran, or his Israeli and US paymasters?

That crossed my mind too, but their body count is puny, compared to SAVAK's, or the secret police of the Argentinian and Chilean juntas, that the US gave it's full throated support to. Of those, the worst body count seems to be at the hands of the Argentine junta, the same luminaries who wagged the dog by invading the Falklands, at some 20-30,000 from 76 to 83. But even the Argentine body count pales compared to the ethnic cleansing op, by our "special ally". in Gaza, with a body count around 76,000.
