Iran indeed. A helpful site to identify most flags:

Looks like coded in a freeware html editor in 1995, still does the job.
my mistake, i thought Iran had a different flag.
also, not to argue against the meme, but shouldn’t the British be in the mix somehow? it was their patsy that alienated the people of post-colonial Iran and fomented the revolution, and then the US gave the Shah asylum which pissed the Iranians off and then the ayatollah took control and shits just gone from bad to worse ever since. so for now, yeah, Iran is doing it to itself with its oppressive regime and violently sexist policies, but there have been other players too (although ironically it WASN’T the US who started it, if i remember right…)

You're right, this is missing a Union Jack. However, even though the USA didn't start shit here but merely assisted the British to protect their interests (like stealing the iranian people's property) the military assistance and general support for the Shah quickly made them the Major Villain from the Iranian religious movement's POV. Also they really fucked up when they underestimated the sincerity of those Mullahs, expecting them to accept bribery same as any other regime of brown people world-wide. and acting against any left-wing (and secular) political movements in Iran. The Mullah regime came into a total vacuum, thanks to the USA's "anything but communism" doctrine. So yeah, the British contribution didn't make that much of a difference
