Why Doesn't the US Stand Strongly with Pahlavi?

I don't understand why the Trump Administration did not work with Pahlavi behind the scenes to organize Iranian resistance to the Ayatollahs before the first shot was fired.

Why the hell doesn't the administration stand up vocally and consistently and persistently for Pahlavi and the freedom of the Iranian people?!

The US and Israel are trying to free the Persian people from Jihadist tyranny not only as a matter of justice for those people so that they can best pursue their interests, but in order to make sure our grandchildren aren't nuked to smithereens sometime in the future!

The argument in favor of overthrowing Jihadism as an international political movement couldn't be more obvious. Jihadism is a violent, theocratic, authoritarian political ideology that oppresses women, despises the West, and seeks the genocide of the Jews within living memory of the Holocaust.

None of those statements are controversial as a matter of fact-based truth.

The Ayatollahs are enemies to the West for religious reasons and they have millions and millions of followers and enablers all around the world, including in positions of great power in the United States.
