Iranian App Helps Users Avoid Morality Police (reuters.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Young people in Iran are using a new app called Gershad (a contraction of 'Gashte Ershad', or 'guidance patrol'), to avoid the 'morality police' by sharing the location of checkpoints with other users. At checkpoints strict Islamic dress and behavior codes are enforced, and their ad hoc nature can make them difficult to avoid. Hadi Ghaemi, the executive director of the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, said of Gershad, "This is an innovative idea and I believe it will lead to many other creative apps which will address the gap between society and government in Iran."
It is funny that you say that the Shah was the legitimate head of state, when in fact he was placed in power by a CIA-inspired coup which deposed Mosaddeq.
That would be not at all, of course. The communist party of Russia holds 92 seats in the Duma, and runs their candidate against Putin in the presidential elections as well.

You have your history confused even more, which is not surprising, due to your your political views and general stupidity. The shah was installed by the Brits in first place by invading Iran and forcing the previous shah to abdicate. Oh by the way, that previous shah was also installed by the Brits 20 years before.
And Mosaddegh was democratically elected.
