President Trump seized upon the anti-government protests in Iran, tweeting Sunday that Iranians are tired of their money being “squandered on terrorism” and that the U.S. is “watching very closely” for human rights violations.

Trump’s tweet was the fourth this weekend on the protests that began midweek and have escalated with two reported deaths late Saturday evening.

“Big protests in Iran,” Trump tweeted Sunday. “The people are finally getting wise as to how their money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism. Looks like they will not take it any longer. The USA is watching very closely for human rights violations!”

wo people are understood to have been killed after Iranian security forces reportedly opened fire on anti-government demonstrators on Saturday as the largest protests seen in the country since 2009 continued for a third day.

Reports of the two deaths were were posted on social media. There was no official confirmation of the fatalities but the posted images appeared to show several bodies being carried away after clashes with police in the western city in Dorud

Angry protests escalated in cities across Iran as demonstrators tore down posters of Ayatollah Khamenei, the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader, while police on motorbikes charged into crowds swinging batons.

Protesters reportedly stormed the governor’s compound in the western city of Arak and started fires at government offices in Ahvaz, a city in the country’s southwest.

Iran has moved to restrict social media networks that have been used to organise three days of anti-establishment protests.

The restrictions on messaging app Telegram and photo sharing app Instagram are "temporary", state news agency Irib reported.

The decision was taken "to maintain tranquillity and security of society", a source was quoted as saying.

The protests have been the biggest show of dissent since huge rallies in 2009.

They began in the north-east as an outcry against economic hardship and rising prices, but turned political in many places, with slogans chanted against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, President Hassan Rouhani and Iran's interventionist foreign policy in the region.

After violence flared in many places on Saturday, there was little sign of further demonstrations on Sunday.

You can't get rid of dictatorship without violence
do you live in the clouds

Good. Deus Vult your way to a better, more Islamophobic 2018.

This is going to go over so well, hope it doesn't end in the worst possible outcome!

 

[DeadwastePrime]

well this is gonna backfire one way or another. it'll either fail, and thousands of innocent families can possibly be killed, or it succeeds and it's that iranian revolution thing from the 70s that backfired horribly for the people there

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

Ugh iran is full of alt right, white supremacist islamophobes

Any revolution that happens will just replace one dictator with another. Muslims inherently love being controlled and will gladly replace one master they don't like with another because servitude and slavery to power is what being human is to then.

Good for them.

I'd argue it's just how the region is. Numerous African countries have been in a coup dictatorship cycle ever since they declared independence from colonial countries. With those countries it's either you're relatively stable (as in staying in power) or you're not.

A region is just a region, its culture that makes a region. Africa and the Middle East would be entirely different if they had a different culture.

Places like Iran and Egypt did have many decades of better, more free times till the 80s revolutions
I am optimistic enough that they'd want to come back to those times

The protesters are openly chanting for the return of the Shah. This is awesome.

Yeah, good luck with that. It is understandable why this is happening. It's Trump, he's giving these people hope and inspiration because they know he has balls. Obama shit himself and did nothing during the 2009 protests, because he was and always has been an Islamic Iranian sympathiser if not a closet Muslim.

Reminds me of that time Iraq Egypt had democratic elections and used them to vote in the Muslim Brotherhood. Middle Eastern citizens only seem to get sick of the style of theocracy they have, not the fact that they have a theocracy.

The Muslims must love Norman Gor's novels.

No, that was Egypt. But I agree the average Joe living in the Middle East doesn't want to live in a totalitarian theocracy; regardless if it's based around Sunni or Shia Islam.

 

[Wesley Willis]

If they're chanting for The Shah, then they're likely being bankrolled by outside "players".

 

[Nacho Man Randy Salsa]

How many of those young protesters were even alive during the Pahlavi dynasty?

In completely unrelated new the Iranian Government today announced a new program to reduce traffic congestion, pollution and unemployment by reducing the countries population by 3-5%!
