The flag Iranians are not allowed to wave at the World Cup

Iranian football fans in Los Angeles are seeking to wave the country's pre-1979 Islamic revolution flag at the World Cup. They prefer this flag over the current one, which is emblazoned on their team's shirt, as a symbol of protest against the current Iranian government. The pre-1979 flag represents a time before the Islamic revolution and is seen as a way for fans to express their dissent and nostalgia for a different era. By waving this flag, Iranian fans aim to make a political statement and distinguish themselves from the current regime.
