A major victory for Iranian patriots

The speech you must hear

At the National Conservatism conference in Washington DC, Shahanshah Reza Pahlavi delivered an outstanding speech outlining a vision for the future of Iran and the Middle East. The speech was uplifting, inspiring and appealed to the nationalist sentiments of Iranians, Europeans and Americans who desire an end to constant warfare.

Moreover, it will help cement the relationship between Iranian monarchists and the wider nationalist movement in the West who are natural allies against Marxists and Islamists. The speech was basically a repudiation of neoconservative and liberal foreign policy assumptions, such as democracy promotion and interventionism.

National conservatism has largely taken over the Right with the discrediting of the neoconservative movement. Eastern Europe (especially Hungary and Poland) and Japan provided successful models of national conservatism, along with the success of populist parties in Western Europe. Even formerly neocon think tanks have shifted, and other right-wing currents are being absorbed.

The crisis of conservatism is finally being resolved (and, yes, the Tories losing the UK election badly is part of that with Reform UK stepping into the limelight) in favour of national conservatism.

But best of all, the speech above has upset all the people you’d expect to be upset: those connected to the regime lobby and those promoting discredited democracy promotion projects which pretended to represent the aspirations of Iranian people. Georgetown and the Charter, whose collapse is religiously mourned by them, was really a last roll of the dice for the dying liberal/neocon fantasy empire.

National conservatism, on the other hand, is perfectly compatible with the project of reclaiming Iran and restoring the monarchy, for the betterment of not only the people of Iran but the entire region.
