Hope they change their name from Iran, back to Persia after this is over.

I know Elon might benefit from X being able to reach Iran, but this smells of this.

I guess you can import it, but I looked up on X's emojis, and it's the old flag.

Might not be fully implemented yet.
This from Grok:
quote:
- The post announces X's plan to update the Iranian flag emoji from the current Islamic Republic design to the pre-1979 Lion and Sun flag, a symbol historically used during the Pahlavi monarchy and now embraced by many in the Iranian opposition as a marker of national identity over regime symbolism.
- This decision stems from grassroots campaigns by Iranian users tagging X executives, including Head of Product Nikita Bier, who confirmed the change is in progress, reflecting the platform's policy of adapting emojis to user-driven cultural preferences.
- Reactions split along political lines, with supporters hailing it as empowerment for protesters against authoritarianism, while critics view it as interference in Iran's sovereignty, underscoring broader debates on tech platforms' role in geopolitical symbolism.

I mean, I'm glad Iran is getting it before everyone else, but...if Iran can have it, what's the hold up ?
