    I heard Reza Pahlavi is wildly popular in Iran right now and Iranian locals are enthusiastic about seeing the Shah returned to power. Is this true?

        Its so easy to believe iranian tv show. Did you know how many people in iran even look at this kind of program? It so hard to believe for foreigners that iran news network is so opposite from people. Like in this network they are showing in last day people celebrate some kind of religious event(نیمه ی شعبان). Do you really think it’s possible for people who, according to Iranian news networks, killed at least 3,000 people to celebrate and be happy? Or can you believe that these same networks say that all those who were in the protests were mercenaries of America and Israel. These are what these news networks say. It is not difficult for a foreigner who does not know these issues to believe these issues, but someone who is in Iran does not need to see these propaganda programs of the regime that are produced with the our money.

            Did you know how many people live in tehran? It’s around over 10 million. Did you know how many people in this kind of gathering got paid?

            The Islamic Republic has completely destroyed the basis of our lives with this. If you go to their meetings, they will give you coupons or various things. While ordinary people are struggling in poverty (as I said, I earn $0.3 an hour), they encourage people to follow suit by giving them points. For example, a very simple and even humorous example: The former President of Iran, Raisian, when a worker of a company that was under the control of the Islamic Republic told him about the problems of life, he asked him: Did they give you lunch? As a child, I was tempted to join the Basij (its one of the organization of the Islamic Republic) because they had a swimming pool, free food, and other facilities.

              Do you know that this crisis is only fueled by material conditions, based on illegal international sanctions? That sanctions kill over half a million people worldwide? That despite sanctions, Venezuela’s economy started recovering and that’s when their president got kidnapped?

              I’m not claiming the Islamic Republic is popular, I don’t like the Islamic Republic, but literally look at what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan and Libya! That’s gonna happen to you and your people if you allow for a regime change. The reason why many Iranians prefer their current, bad government over the regime change is because they understand this.

              There needs to be an end of all sanctions so people like you have a space to breathe and combat your government in your own terms, so that instead of ravaging the country and selling it for scraps to western capitalists you have a sovereign government with better funded services and more freedoms. The idea that the people who are still carrying out the complete extermination of Palestinians, the people who turned Libya into a slave market, could even INCIDENTALLY care about you is not grounded in reality.

              I wish you strength for what’s coming, you don’t deserve any of this to happen.

      this is very joyful that you ask about this. I was at the protests when people were using these slogans.

      مرگ بر خامنه ای

      translate : death to khamenei

      مرگ بر دیکتاتور

      translate : death to dictator

      این اخرین نبره پهلوی بر میگرده

      trans : this is the last war pahlavi gonna come back

      جاوید شاه

      eternal shah

      دل های ما خونی اع خامنه ای کونی ع

      our heart is bleeding , khamenei is p*ssy(honestly it’s not mean that but please tack it form me)

      so i think persian guys like reza. and it so popular in iran(I also really like he). how many of iranian people does not like reza somthing like 1/15 . people jock about it : like bro when reza gonna come back? it’s tack so long.
