By Nazenin AnsariOn Thursday, March 20, Iranians gathered at significant historical sites across the country to celebrate Nowruz, the Persian New Year, while also calling for the restoration of the monarchy. The crowds chanted the name of Reza Shah, the founder of the Pahlavi Dynasty, who played a crucial role in modernizing Iran a century ago. In his annual Nowruz address, the leader of the Islamic Republic, Ali Khamenei, did not utter one word about the ancient Persian celebration.
