It’s being reported that major anti-government protests have erupted across Iran, in support of the exiled Shah.
Below is video of the protests via Shyan X on X:
The massive anti-regime, pro-Shah and pro-@PahlaviReza, uprising in Iran continues through the night and has spread to multiple provinces across the country. In Hamedan, people are chanting “Long Live The Shah” (#JavidShah) in support of Iran’s exiled Shah and National Leader, Reza Shah Pahlavi II
Apparently these protests have sprung across Iran up because of the collapse of their currency and rampant inflation, among other things.
And their exiled Crown Prince is encouraging the public to join the protests:
Support for restoring the monarchy has reappeared in public expressions during 2025.
Exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi is advocating for regime change and a democratic transition.

In the past Iran has suppressed protests like these with violence. I expect the Iranian government could do the same thing again, but I hope not. It’s long past time for the Iranian people to revolt and overthrow their government.
