I'm an Iranian refugee that came to America 5 years ago,  2 days before the borders closed. A few days ago- I attended a protest against the Islamic Republic. After that event, my view on the Iranian Flag has changed. The new flag doesn't have anything to do with Iranian Culture or the people, it's a sign of discrimination and dictatorship. 

The current government of Iran is killing millions upon millions of people each year. And bad relations with other countries have also closed borders for these people, forcing them to comply with the rules and live in poverty.

 Currently,  Persians all across the globe are protesting against the Islamic republic. Changing the flag would show your support for this cause.  

"This flag represents the pyromanic, misogynistic dictator who took force of a developing nation through terrorism, and has risked thousands of wars by threatening war with Iraq and America. Damn the revolution."
