The Shah is Gone (Persian: شاه رفت; Šâh raft) is a headline that appeared on the front-page of Iranian newspaper Ettela'at on Tuesday, January 16, 1979, when the shah left Iran, few days before fall of the Pahlavi dynasty and 2500 years-old Iranian monarchy. The title contains shah (king) instead of shahanshah (king of kings) to refer Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, which was very rare during his reign. It is described as the "most famous headline in the history of Iran."[1][2][3][4]
