> who is generally hated by Iranians in power.
So that’s why said Iranians chant Javid Shah?
Iranian here, the Shah has surprisingly many supporters, both inside and abroad.
Iran is a big complex country and is more diverse than people think.

Exactly, I have a hard time seeing how that will ever play out how they want.
The whole reason the 1979 revolution happened in the first place was because the Shah was a blatant US/Israeli puppet
You've missed the part where islamist butchered the leaders of the actual 1979 revolution. In reality it was:
unpopular shah -> 1979 revolution -> islamists take control, prison and kill the leftists of 1979 revolution.
That is true but that’s often how these things go, you pull together a coalition of factions to overthrow the existing elites and then afterwards it devolves into infighting
It worked with Machado, so why wouldn't it work with... oh wait. We're governed by a shadowy criminal network of idiots.
