So we all know that the Shah of Iran was one of the only Middle Eastern leaders to survive the Arab uprisings of 2009-2010 (Saudi Arabia was in a very bad situation for a while). In OTL he gave concessions, modernised, redistributed oil income and cut military expenditure, even without this Iran was pretty stable anyway. What sort of POD will get rid of him? Maybe Russia and the United States don't step in to stop the war with Mohammed Zahir Shah in the early noughties?
