MAKE IRAN PERSIA AGAIN! Cartoon published 01/13/2026 Iran’s Uprising: Echoes of the Past Amid Present Suffering Iran has come full circle since the Shah was forced out of the country in 1979 and replaced by an Islamic ‘republic.’ Now Iranians want the ruling mullahs gone and power restored to the people. Shaw Pahlavi had flaws. He faced fierce opposition from the Islamic fanatics and was brutal in his retaliation. Still, the Shah wanted to westernize Iran and under his rule the country prospered. Women could dress as they liked and Iran had a bright future. When the muslim ’supreme leaders’ took control, the economy declined and women were murdered for not wearing head scarves properly. Iran’s muslim leaders spent profusely on arms and weapons to destroy Israel. They funded Hezbollah and Hamas and neglected their own people, who became impoverished—and now their currency is worthless and they have no water. The mullahs are addicted to power and they will relinquish it only by force. They will commit mass murder on their own citizens rather than voluntarily give up their power, so unfortunately the citizens must use force. The stark divide between the Shah’s progressive vision and the mullahs’ medieval and iron-fisted theocracy has been made evident. Iran’s people deserve better—freedom from fear, economic dignity, and a future unburdened by ideology. It’s time for them to not only take control of their own country but also jettison the backward religion that has held them down. Trump wants to help the Iranian people, but we don’t not want American ‘boots on the ground.’ If he can take out the leadership similar to what he did with Maduro, then we’re all for it. We want Iran to become Persia again. — The GrrrTeam
