People did that during the last round of protests as well. Honestly it's probably not that much of a big deal (though monarchists aren't uncommon among the Iranian diaspora at least, particularly in North America). I'd say it's kind of a spiteful gently caress you sort of thing to the regime from people who are sick of them telling them who is bad and who their enemy is, from the same people who treat them like poo poo and are running the country into the ground. Kind of like how the Arab Spring movements often went for the older flags rather than the ones used by the current regimes and stuff like that.

If the protests keep going we'll probably see some power struggle between monarchy supporters and actual democratic protesters, there were already fights in uh I think London, between right-wing monarchists, and Kurdish + left-wing protesters. I hope it doesn't get too bad. There's been a lot of chants against both the current government and the monarchy as well in big cities at least, from what I've seen.

It would probably reach a compromise like post-Franco Spain did of constitutional figurehead (not really since you’re never a figurehead with that much fame and attention) monarchy p quickly if it got to that point and the monarchist faction actually exists and is sizeable instead of being some dudes just trolling tbh.

I confess I would have felt better if it was "Mossadegh roohat shad", but as folk have pointed out, it seems to be more general rebelling against established norms. A person over here in Sweden from Iran was mentioning how more young folk tote icons of Ahura Mazda, I doubt this means there is a serious resurgence of Zoarastrianism due.

I mean, the monarchists actually do exist, and all in all the monarchy didn't go away that long ago, and as proven by how often the "can you believe what Iran was iike the 70s?!"-thing pops up, at least abroad, they're actually pretty good at the whole image thing.

I have no real idea what the likely outcome of all this is. Though a return of the monarchy would be a little bit out of left field.

Doing anything in support of the protests would be incredibly risky, especially given that we're trying to engage in some particularly thorny negotiations with Iran on the nuclear deal. It's still entirely possible that something is being done, but we better hope that we never hear about it.

My very vague, ill-informed impression of Iran is that culturally, someone from the West would probably get on pretty well with the average Iranian, but the government is very much not that. Is that generally true?
