👑❌🇮🇷🇮🇷 — Video from last night from Andarzgoo, District 12 of Tehran, shows protesters removing a state-sponsored Shia sign reading "Mahdi Will Come" in rejection of Islamic Theology

📝 In Twelver Shia Theology, the Mahdi is the Shia 12th Imam, who, according to Shia belief, has been "in occultation that for over 1,400 years but will return". By removing this, they remove the main raison d'etre of Velayet-e-Faqih
