Breitbart: Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of Iran over the past few days, speaking out against both the “hardline” government of the ayatollahs and the supposedly “moderate” secular government of President Hassan Rouhani.
“Death to the dictator!” and “Death to Rouhani” are chants heard in at least eight Iranian cities, and the movement appears to be spreading.
The UK Daily Mail reports protesters surrounding an Iranian mullah, a powerful member of the theocratic ruling class, and changing “Mullahs, be ashamed and leave Iran!” in his face.
One of the big protests was held in Mashhad, which is considered one of the holiest sites in Iran and in all of Shia Islam, as it contains the shrine of a revered 9th Century imam.
On Friday afternoon there were reports of protesters filling the streets of Qom, Iran’s spiritual center, and chanting: “We don’t want an Islamic republic!” Another protest chant, “Iran is haphazard without the Shah,” seems calculated to annoy the mullahs and ayatollah. These are remarkable gestures of defiance against Iran and the revolution of 1979, which is officially regarded as a sacred event.
One brave woman expressed her defiance by standing up without a veil or headscarf. MORE HERE
She is VERY brave. May God protect her.

I think many of us fail to remember that Iran was the picture of 20th Century abundance before the fall… since, it has returned to a third world shithole. Most of us cannot even imagine the courage required to stand up.

Trump is smart enough to capitalize on this.
I used to think Twitter was really stupid (well, it is, mostly) until I realized (in 2009?) that it was a prime vehicle for protesters to get word and video to the rest of the world. Hopefully Iran doesn’t get overlooked like last time.
Crackerbaby – completely. Just to be OUT there is dangerous as all get out. And then assholes like Kevin Allred think they are fighting for their lives under Trump? It really makes me see red.
Iran could have had a different course during the Green Revolution if Olazybuttma had provided assistance. He turned his back on the people of Iran to kiss ass of the mullahs.
Last time this happened Obama took a knee looking the other way. Probably willingly guided by his little Iranian puppet master.
Trump will do something much different. Probably something more like Reagan and the Polish Solidarity movement.
Trump won’t turn his back on these brave Iranians. He’s not a Shiite. Valerie Jerret isn’t making his decisions. The Mad Mullahs are about to get Trumped!
More vivid evidence of why we have the Second Amendment!
Now Trump can show that little fag Obama how an American President should respond to the Iranian protesters when they need international help.
The people of Iran have been oppressed for decades.
May they finally be free of the ayatollah.
And thank you Jimma Carta for getting us into this damned mess in the first place.
Let’s airdrop cases of M-16s in all major cities of Iran.
Oh, and some ammunition.
