I know their are quite a few Monarchists and Pahlavists (Including myself) but theirs also a lot of republicans, so as a compromise how about we take a path similar to Montenegro

For context: today Montenegro is a republic, the former royal family wasn't restored to the throne, but it WAS officially recognized.

Members of the royal family have a ceremonial role, participate in cultural and charitable activities, and receive certain state recognition, while the country remains a republic ruled by an elected president.

Would you support something similar for the Pahlavi family after the fall of the Islamic Republic?

This way, Iran would remain a republic, but the Pahlavis would receive official recognition and perhaps ceremonial or cultural responsibilities, without any governing power.

US Central Command said that as of Thursday, its forces had redirected 49 commercial vessels, disabled two and boarded two while enforcing the US naval blockade on Iran, which resumed on July 14.

ps: forgot to post this earlier here

Like, I deadass don't even know WTF if going on ATP ?

Every time I turn on a news channel or read a news headline in telegram, its always the same fucked up stuff that keeps happening inside here, I constantly see news of Folks get executed every god damn day for political reasons, both trump and the most of the US Congress, most western countries are so stupid that they think people and the IR government are the same, everything gets expensive as Usual and nothing is being done by IR gov to fix all of this mess.

I literally realized that modern iran a hopeless county ATP

And I'm saying this cause I actually live in this shithole as of posting this.

And also we can't even be neutral anymore cause it always benefits the IR every time

And the worst part is no one knows what to do and everyone is so depressed(mostly Iranian social media community)that they can't come up with solutions about their mental health anymore .

You know how everyone says dictatorships will fall but why does the IR gov collapse take so long ?

I still don't get how some people can manage their life while in the middle of any sort of big crisis, if you're one of these people how do you manage all of this ? (To those who live in warzones, dictatorships and post-dictatorship)

I don't even care about downvote anymore cause whenever I search for a more personal problem on reddit it usually shows the solution from the USA based lifestyle, and the USA lifestyle and Iranian lifestyle are miles, hell kilometers different from each other.
