‘Javid Shah!’ Why Iranians are calling for their king
Amid ongoing protests in Iran, crowds are chanting “Javid Shah” (Long Live the Shah), a slogan once deemed politically untouchable. This resurgence reflects a growing call for the end of the Islamic Republic and the return of the Pahlavi monarchy, led by Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of the last Shah. The chants signify a shift in public sentiment and aspirations for change within the country.
