Mohammad Reza Pahlavi

Born in Tehran, the son of Reza Shah, he came to the throne in 1941 when his father was forced to abdicate. His reign brought the White Revolution reforms, financed by oil revenues and aligned with the United States, and widening conflict with the clerical establishment and the bazaar, whose opposition the Persian article describes. ^{1 2}

He left Iran in January 1979 as the revolution gathered force, and moved through Egypt, Morocco, the Bahamas, Mexico, the United States — where he received medical treatment — and Panama, before returning to Egypt, where President Anwar Sadat gave him refuge. He died of lymphoma in Cairo on 27 July 1980 and was buried in the al-Rifa'i Mosque there. ^{1 2}

His faith is recorded as unknown. The English infobox gives his religion as Twelver Shia Islam and the Arabic infobox gives the same school, and Wikidata carries the same value — but infobox fields and their structured echo are a single source family, and no text in any of the four editions names his personal affiliation: the English text quotes the oath he swore as shah to protect Shia Islam, a state act, and reports a biographer's account of his childhood dreams of the Twelve Imams. Neither is a textual attestation of a personal school. ^{1 3 4}
