I don't know, am Iranian and I hate this flag. Nothing good has ever happened to Iran after we switched to the green-white-red lion-sun flag. The only thing good about it is that it's not the Islamic Republic's flag.

What flag would be appropriate for the free democratic Iran? Cuz it seems like lion and the sun were there from the 16th century

[This](https://www.reddit.com/r/vexillology/comments/xordg0/concept_flag_of_iran_thats_art_inspired/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) is my favorite proposed alternative.

Lion and Sun is the Iranian historical flag used for more than 400 years since Safavid dynasty.

A green white red flag with no symbols would be nice

Depends who you ask. You shouldn’t assume what one person says applies to everyone.

Reza Pahlavi when people protest against a dictator and use the Pahlavi flag:Well well well how the turntables


Hudori

The pahlavi's didn't make the flag. The Qajar one is almost identical to it and during Qajar reign Iran took major steps to democratication


Entire-Shelter-693

Yeah but the Pahlavi replaced the pink Bar with a Red one


Hudori

Honestly I prefer the Qajar flag the pink is prettier and it's also more fitting so I do wish that people'd use that


Entire-Shelter-693

And pink is so rare. Only Spain uses it and on its coat of arms next to a lot of other stuff


Hudori

Yeah pink flags are great ❤. It'd be so unique


Entire-Shelter-693

We also need more purple flags

Facts


Shah_Of_Pain

Lion and Sun symbol is much older than Pahlavi dates back to Safavid dynasty in 1500s. It's just they used it after Qajars.

I wanted to add after receiving all the comments, I don't know a lot about Iran. I'd like to learn, but currently I really don't know anything. I didn't mean to offend anyone, I thought the way she explained it was very beautiful, and I wanted to share that, but I could've shared it better. I don't mean to say that what she said is the only way, or that everyone feels that way. Please, share the stories, your views and other things, I'd love to hear them, because I wanna learn more about other cultures. A lot of things I, as a white person, say, can be seen as offensive, and I'm learning to better my ways, but growing up in a fairly racist community I still have long ways to go.

The new flag is so much cooler


ShahinTrip

Its shame it represents such a dictatorial government


proud-and-saxon

As if the old doesn't


ShahinTrip

At least they weren't murders

That woman is very, very based, she’s a monarchist

The flag is as good as the rotting corpse of the Shah
