People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

Mark NSFW content.
No doxxing people.
Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
No international politcs
Be excellent to each other.
Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

It's a big country. There's corners that are still liberal/secular today and there's corners that have never been.

But there's a hagiography around the dictatorship that suggests a few women in bikinis on the beach represented the entire social state of the Shah's reign. You don't see pictures of the torture dungeons or the armed insurgents or the clashes between police and civilians published regularly in Western media.
