Shah died in 1980 and Farah Diba remained in charge of her familywhile his eldest son, Reza, assumed the leadership of his house as crown prince. Over time, both became prominent leaders of the Iranian opposition. Since his exile, Reza (Jr.) has been actively involved in the struggle for democracy in Iran, calling on the international community to support the quest for independence and working to unite Iran’s various opposition figures.
