But I'm sure if the Iranian government collapsed, and everyone was standing around in the aftermath, it's not like they would all be like well what's Reza Pahlavi up to these days? Lets get this monarchy poppin again! Dumb history question. When Iran kicked out the Shah in 79, it was ostensibly a student revolution, right? How did a theocratic government emerge from that? The last thing I can I imagine a bunch of angry students arguing for is more religion in their lives.

The Gasht-e-Ershad or morality police forces were only established in 2006 by the Ahmadinejad administration to harass people who dress too casually or behave in other ways the ultraconservatives deem inappropriate. As I understand, they're not particularly deeply integrated in the state security apparatus, but rather auxiliaries to the regular police. What is Ahmadinejad doing these days besides shitposting on twitter? Retirement?
