A recent scene in #Iran

Who has the #USA as #fascist #theocracy and Iran as burgeoning #democracy on their 2026 bingo card?

(PS: that flag is the Lion and Sun Flag, the pre-1979 #revolution flag of Iran: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_and_Sun_flag )

EDIT:

because of angry trolls, i have to clarify

this is not the flag of the Shah

this flag also flew for Mohammad Mosaddegh, whom the CIA overthrew to install the Shah. read the Wikipedia link I posted

the flag is pre-Ayatollah, anti-Ayatollah

not pro-Shah
