The entire sentence about government in exile is false

Reza Pahlavi has time and time again refused the notion of establishing a government in exile, he has been vocal in refusing to claim the throne or presidency before a free democratic election.

That entire sentence is misleading and a lie Kane 1371 (talk) 00:43, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

::This is the part that Parker Richards of The Observer [https://observer.com/2016/01/breaking-yoko-ono-iranian-prince-and-others-to-be-honored-for-promoting-peace/ writes] about this:

{{quote|The crown prince of Iran and Shah of Iran’s government in exile, the National Council of Iran, Mr. Pahlavi is a respected figure both in his home country and amongst expatriates, and hopes to reclaim the throne of Iran after overthrowing the current government.}}

Since the source is reliable and the content is verifiable, I restored it with in-text attribution. Pahlevun (talk) 01:10, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

WP:NPOV

Ok. This just seems NPOV and seriously favoring Iran (the country). I mean, read this:

"The "self-styled"[6] National Council claims to have gathered "tens of thousands of pro-democracy proponents from both inside and outside Iran."[4] It also claims to represent religious and ethnic minorities.[7] According to Kenneth Katzman, the group which was established with over 30 groups has '"suffered defections and its activity level appears minimal".[3]"

Italics = what I percieve to be NPOV. I could be completely wrong, but this stands out to me. Maybe it's just a stub of which the only available information is "negative"? I don't know. What do you all think?

Thanks.
