Cyprus: Old Iranian Flag Raised Outside Iran Embassy in Protest

Protesters in Cyprus have expressed solidarity with the Iranian people by raising the old flag of Iran at the Iranian embassy in Nicosia. This act serves as a symbolic protest against the Islamic regime and a show of support for the ongoing demonstrations in Iran. The flag used features the lion and sun emblem, which represented Iranian royal power and cultural heritage before the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The replacement of this symbol with an Islamic emblem after the revolution symbolizes the shift in the country's ideology and power doctrine.
