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?

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
