Iran's current flag on major social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook represents the Islamic Republic, featuring the emblem introduced after the 1979 Revolution. However, for millions of Iranians around the world, the lion and sun flag holds much more significance, representing the country's rich cultural heritage and historical identity. This emblem is not merely an insignia; it symbolizes the nation before the Islamic Revolution and stands as a beacon of the Iran that many envision returning to its roots.

In light of the socio-political climate in Iran today, we are on the brink of significant changes—a near revolution propelled by brave Iranians advocating for their freedom and rights. These pressing circumstances necessitate a reevaluation of what truly represents the people of Iran. Social media platforms play a colossal role in shaping perceptions and identities in this digital age, and it's imperative that they reflect the voices and choices of the Iranian populace.

We call upon Instagram and Facebook to acknowledge these sentiments and replace the current Islamic flag of Iran with the lion and sun flag. Such a shift would not only resonate with many Iranians who stand for change but also show solidarity with the ongoing quest for freedom and justice in Iran.

This symbolic gesture from global platforms like Facebook and Instagram can have profound impacts, supporting the movement towards autonomy and respect for human rights. Let us advocate for a change that upholds cultural identity and honors the wishes of the people of Iran who strive for a better future. Please sign this petition to urge Instagram and Facebook to make this crucial change.
