Some of you might be wondering what is up with the Iranian flag (mostly people in the US or Europe might be seeing this) One day it has a lion on it and the next day something circular. Well my friends this is politics!! The current Iranian flag was developed in 1980 after the Islamic revolution. Usually this flag is used by Iranians within Iran and also a very few Iranians outside Iran who are with the revolution.
The other flag is called the sheer o khorsheed meaning the lion and sun. When this flag is used, it means that the person is against the Islamic revolution and wants it to be overthrown. Some of these people want the last Shah’s son Reza Pahlavi to take over while most of them want a new regime to come up.
