In the first hours of the #US-#Israel strikes on #Iran, opponents of the war and critics of the #IslamicRepublic from across the political spectrum quickly made their divergent voices heard on #Farsi social media.
While anti-war activists were swift to revive the Farsi hashtag “No to War” on Saturday, pro-monarchy groups and individuals, led by #RezaPahlavi called for an escalation of attacks on Iran.
Pahlavi, the Israel-aligned son of the country’s last shah, has been at the helm of a movement advocating the restoration of the monarchy. Since Israel’s 12-day #war on Iran last year, his camp has mounted an aggressive media campaign against rival opposition voices.
