This is part of the protests that have been going on since Thursday. Thousands have taken the streets in multiple cities, including even the seat of the mullahs, Qom.
This is pretty stunning since the Shah has been gone for 40 years. They’re calling for the return of his son, Reza Pahlavi.
The Pahlavi family was favorable to the U.S. and a modern state as compared to the mullahs.
They also chanted for an end to clerical government.
