Reza Shah II (born October 31, 1960) is the current Shah of Iran. He succeeded his father, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, on July 27, 1980, when the latter died of cancer.
Born in Tehran, he moved to the United States in 1978 (while still Crown Prince) to complete his higher education. He was trained as a jet fighter pilot at Reese Air Force Base in Lubbock, Texas and attended Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts before graduating with a degree in political science from the University of Southern California. Upon completing his education, he returned to Iran to assume his royal duties (his mother had served as Regent in the time between his father's death and his return to Iran).
