When an aspiring queen undermines her king’s efforts, a hopeful king tries to gain popularity by delivering ambiguous, broad messages to various factions, from the regime’s security forces to anti-regime activists. 

Mrs. Yasmine Pahlavi, the wife of the late Shah of Iran’s son, condemned the remarks of a human rights activist defending the claims of the victims of the 1980s in an Instagram story.

Interestingly, in his speech, the same human rights activist denied the rights and democratic activities of the organization to which those victims from the 1980s were affiliated.
