The author, an Iranian citizen residing in Norway, expresses concern over the portrayal of recent protests against the Iranian government, particularly a significant demonstration held in Munich. This event, which saw participation from approximately 250,000 to 300,000 people, was part of a larger global movement with similar protests occurring in cities like Toronto and Los Angeles. The author clarifies that their support for a unifying figure, Reza Pahlavi, is not driven by ideological loyalty but by a shared apprehension for Iran's future.

The piece argues against narratives that undermine the reality of these protests by attributing their organization to 'fake accounts' or AI-generated content. The article emphasizes that the physical presence of such a large crowd, amidst adverse weather conditions, contradicts claims that reduce these movements to mere digital phenomena. Such misinterpretations can distort the perceived legitimacy of the Iranian people's struggle for voice and change.

Highlighting the participation in global protests, the author calls for an acknowledgment of the real, lived experiences of those on the streets, arguing that relying solely on digital narratives overlooks the urgent political realities faced by Iranians. The larger implications of this discussion touch on how narratives are shaped in the digital age, potentially affecting the international community's understanding of the Iranian situation and the genuine desire for change among its people.
