Poor freedom! Even the name of the street is in danger.

In response to the renaming of Azadi Boulevard, the sociologist said: "Poor Azadi! Even the name of the street is in danger."

In the past few days, the Shiraz City Council's Naming Commission changed the boundary between Azadi Square and Hazrat Ghaem Square to "Quds," a move that not only sparked controversy but also drew widespread reactions.

In response to the name change, the people of Shiraz declared that their memories were lost with the renaming of Azadi Boulevard. Some also pointed out that the name "Quds" could have been placed on one of the city's new projects and declared: "Renaming Azadi Boulevard is a sign of the council's weakness and lack of proper decision-making."

Social media users also reacted to the name change, writing: "We were supposed to liberate Quds, but we changed Azadi to Quds!" and "I wish instead of spending this money to rename Quds Boulevard instead of Azadi, you would light the gas flare to help attract tourists."

Following these reactions, a sociologist also expressed regret for this name change and said: "Poor Azadi! Even the name of the street is in danger." This sociologist's words were referring to the "Women, Life, Freedom" revolution, which has been in place for a year now, and the phrase that has become the slogan of the Iranian people has shaken the system and its agents to the point that they are afraid of the names of Azadi Boulevard, Square, and Street.  

Ali Akbari, a representative of the 10th term of the parliament in Shiraz, also said in response to this name change: "The philosophy of changing the name of Azadi Boulevard to Quds Boulevard is not clear. The name "Quds" could have been placed on one of the squares or new streets. He also pointed out that changing the names of some streets is not appropriate and continued: It is unlikely that changing the name of Azadi Boulevard to Quds will be able to convince the public. After many years, the people of Shiraz still call the streets by the same names as before, such as Mossadegh Square. How is it possible that after 40 years, the name "Azadi" on this institutionalized boulevard was changed to "Quds" in the public mind? These name changes do not change anything in practice."

Alireza Pakfitrat also wrote in this regard: "The name Azadi Boulevard was not a name of a tyrant that you could change. The name Azadi has always been at the forefront of the slogans of the Islamic Republic and the Revolution, and changing this name is a mistake."

Disagreements and opposition among elements of the regime indicate that the Islamic Republic is approaching overthrow and collapse.
