TL;DR

A video circulating on Iranian Telegram channels reportedly shows a person in Larsattan chanting 'Long live the king', a slogan associated with support for the monarchy. The clip's origin and context are unverified.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The video, shared on an Iranian the source, shows an individual chanting 'Long live the king' in what appears to be the town of Larsattan. The slogan 'Long live the king' (in Persian: 'Javid Shah') is a pro-monarchy phrase, often used by supporters of the exiled Pahlavi dynasty. The video's authenticity and the identity of the individual have not been independently verified. The Zioneer has previously reported on other videos from Iran, including citizens appealing for arms and a clip showing poor sanitary conditions, though there is no direct connection between these reports. The spread of such videos on Iranian Telegram channels suggests ongoing opposition activity, but the extent and impact remain unclear.
