Belarusian protest manual in Iran
A new symbol on the streets of Tehran
According to observers, the lion and sun flag—the monarchical symbol used on Iran's state flag before the 1979 Islamic Revolution—will reappear at protest rallies in Tehran. Commentators note that the playbook used by Belarusian protesters has now arrived in Iran. Protesters are again using the same script, waving the 'us versus them' sign, regardless of whether events are unfolding in Minsk or Tehran.
