The monarchs of Iran ruled for over two and a half millennia, beginning as early as the 8th century BC and enduring until the 20th century AD. The earliest Iranian monarch is generally considered to have been either Deioces of the Median dynasty (c. 727–550 BC) or Cyrus the Great of the Achaemenid dynasty (550–330 BC). The last Iranian monarch was Mohammad Reza Pahlavi of the Pahlavi dynasty (1925–1979), who was overthrown in the Islamic Revolution. Since then, Iran has been governed by theocratic supreme leaders.[1]
You know, sometimes it’s ok for you to be wrong. I know hexbear is a community where everything is literal, but in this case, an Iranian Monarch and Iranian Supreme Leader are just different titles for two different authoritarian Regimes.
Just like Xi Jingping is the Authoritarian Ruler of China, like Mao was.
This is just aggressive ignorance. It’s not a matter of opinion or dependent on ideology. It’s basic history and terminology.

Precisely. They are different words which refer to different regimes (separated by a revolution). If you use them interchangeably you will confuse people.
Show me literally anyone else who refers to the Ayatollah as the Shah. Do an image search for “Shah of Iran” and look at the results.
Xi and Mao are/were leaders of the same regime (The PRC), so that comparison actually makes sense. What you’re doing is the equivalent of saying the emperor of China is the same as the president of the People’s Republic of China.
Genghis Khan and Hitler were both authoritarians that had people killed over dissent.
Therefore, Genghis Khan invaded Poland in 1939 and put European Jews in concentration camps. They are identical.
I’m not talking about moral equivalence! You used the wrong term for the current head of state of Iran. Just learn and move forward, and stop acting like an arrogant ass when corrected.
I’m sorry if I sounded smug when I called out your initial error.
Yeah and they are identical too. I wasn’t referring to the head of state, I was insulting how the Iranian revolution replaced its tyrant with another tyrant.
All tyrants are the same. Their title is bullshit.
“Shah of Iran” redirects to that page.
