Unlike the current anti-Iranian Islamic Republic, the patriotic #Pahlavi Kings assigned importance and devoted great resources to our rich history & culture
It was they who built the magnificent mausoleums of our favourite poets, that are today top tourist attractions

A 1000 years later & the situation seems no different
Our Iran is ruled by the forces of Ahriman that seek to destroy our national identity & the dignity of our brothers & sisters
Evil men are praised & our greatest heroes are unjustly maligned
#Iran needs a new #Reza_Shah

The first two lines remind me of our fallen Iranian monarchy, and the last two lines remind me of the current anti-Iranian, uncivilized idiocracy that rules our beloved nation today

Under his direction, savage mobs destroyed Reza Shah’s mausoleum in 1980
Khalkhali is pictured below in a white turban, helping in the destruction
A passage from his memoir is also attached

Reza Shah’s body was never found & it was declared by the IR that his son took it with him when he left Iran
This was denied
In 2018, during expansion work at a nearby shrine, a mummified body believed to be Reza Shah was found
Its fate today is unknown
REZA SHAH ROOHAT SHAD

Mausoleum of Ruhollah Khomeini
Built: 1992 (By the I.R.)
Location: Tehran
The larger surrounding complex is *still* under construction, but when completed will be over 20 km2
In 1990, the IR gov’t announced the cost to be **US$2 billion**
I’m sure it has greatly surpassed this

Where are all the leftists who complained about the so-called “stealing of wealth” under the Shah?
50 years later &the same brain-dead Red & Black factions still make such a disingenuous fuss over the 2500 year celebrations, which were 10% of the cost & infinitely more important

Tomb of #Cyrus_The_Great
Built: 6th Century BCE
Location: #Pasargadae
Given the utmost respect & honour by the #Pahlavi’s, Cyrus’s tomb was the focal point of the Shah’s magnificent 2500 years celebration of the #Persian Empire in 1971
Our pre-Islamic past is hated by the IR

In contrast, after the 1979 Revolution, Khomeini’s appointed “Chief Justice”, Sadegh Khalkhali, who had just finished a destructive rampage in Tehran with his band of savages, was heading to Shiraz to destroy Persepolis and Cyrus’s tomb
They were stopped by patriotic locals

In recent years, Iranians have gathered by the thousands at #Cyrus_The_Great’s tomb to celebrate him & our rich pre-Islamic history
They have faced violent crackdowns & arrests
Popular chants:
“Iran Vatan e Mast, Kourosh Pedar e Mast”
“Ma Aryaee Hastim, Arab Nemiparastim”

Official history on the Shah & revolution is based on the lowest IQ propaganda created by Islamists, leftists & liberals
It’s hard 2 believe so many young Iranians are fooled by it
I am pictured below saluting my #Shahanshah
I will always salute H.I.M.
The Immortals Never Die
