Part 7/12:
Inside Iran, there is a growing movement of discontent that openly calls for the return of the monarchy. Supporters are chanting "Rezo Rezo Palabi"—a rallying cry that references Reza Pahlavi, the exiled current Shah of Iran. This movement reflects widespread frustration with the Islamic Republic, which many Iranians see as unjust, oppressive, and disconnected from their cultural and national identity.
The protests have transcended street demonstrations; Iranians are now boldly entering mosques to voice their opposition—a development that would have been unimaginable decades ago and signals a seismic shift in public sentiment.
