In a surprising digital shift amid growing unrest in Iran, social platform X (formerly Twitter) has replaced the Iranian flag emoji with the historic Lion & Sun symbol — a design tied to Iran’s pre-1979 era — sparking speculation online that this reflects waning support for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the Islamic Republic. The change comes as nationwide protests over inflation, economic collapse and government repression intensify, with ongoing internet blackouts and clashes spreading across all provinces. Critics view the emoji switch as symbolic backing for demonstrators, while authorities continue a harsh crackdown.
