After his father's death, Reza had been crowned Kurush IV Reza Shah Pahlavi and his rule had began with having to help Iran save itself from international turmoil that became a thing due to his father and America backing the Afghan monarchist revolutionaries in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union and due to his father's conquest of the Uzbek, Turkmen and Tajik regions of the Soviet Union with the entirety of Pakistan which caused trouble with the Soviet Union and India. After the handling of the leftist insurgents, Pahlavi had decided to only implement reforms that the people of Iran want as reforms. Due to this he had founded the National Council of Iran for Free Elections which is a loosely based umbrella group of various political parties including those who support the monarchy and those who want democracy.
