This is the final battle, Pahlavi will return

"This is the final battle, Pahlavi will return" (Persian: این آخرین نبرده، پهلوی برمی‌گرده, romanisedIn âkharin nabarde, Pahlavi barmigarde) is an anti-government political slogan used during the 2025–2026 Iranian protests, symbolizing that Reza Pahlavi will return as shah, and that the protests will be the final battle to end the Islamic Republic's rule in Iran which overthrew Pahlavi's father, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, in the 1979 Islamic Revolution of Iran.[1][2] The slogan is chanted by Iranians during the 2025–2026 Iranian protests, as a way of supporting the Pahlavi dynasty and opposing the Islamic Republic.[3][4][5]
