Endless quote tweets and responses just mindlessly agreeing. Quite baffling.

    The only reasonable explanation I have for this phenomenom is that these people are morons, believe that calling themselves Persian makes them western compliant, and believe it was the Ayatollah who ‘changed the country’s name’.

      This terminology prevailed until 1935, when, during an international gathering for Nowruz, the Iranian king Reza Shah Pahlavi officially requested that foreign delegates begin using the endonym “Iran” in formal correspondence.

      It wasn’t the Ayatollah, this happened long before the rise of the IRI or the revolution
