If the ayatollah regime in Iran falls, will the exiled Farah Pahlavi take over and become the Empress of Iran, or can only men rule this country, and so another family member become the Shah?
No, Farah Pahlavi was the consort of the Shah and thus would not become a reigning Empress. Their eldest son Reza Pahlavi would have the best chance if the monarchy is restored. Both the Empress and Crown Prince are great Iranian Patriots in exile.
