#Iranian women key players in anti-government protests in Iran irannewswire.org/iranian-women-…
Iranian women are at the forefront of anti-government protests in #Iran challenging the misogynous rule of the clerical regime.

#IranProtests
Dec 2017/Jan 2018 #Iranprotests
Women played a significant role in the protests. In many parts of Iran, women were the first to chant “down with Khamenei”, the regime’s Supreme Leader, which then turned into the key slogan of the uprising, targeting the regime in its entirety.

“Front man of corrupt religious mafia” Zarif, resigns irannewswire.org/7010-2/
The US’s robust policy against Iran has taken its toll on Iran’s failed foreign policy as Zarif’s only “achievement” during his 5 year tenure was the JCPOA which has turned into a corpse thanks to the Trump administration.
Iran’s Minister of Communication asked Zarif to retake his post adding that “people were worried” in an Instagram post.

“Don’t sit brother,stand up dear Javad! The people are worried,” Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi wrote with an image of himself hand in hand with a smiling Zarif.

Anyone that knows a lot about the middle east want to help me out with some bots/trolls?
They don't like #Iran or #Qatar
I found them while looking at the #Russia hashtag, they are either bots or a coordinated trolls. Haven't figured it out yet.
I highlighted them here in the tweets I pulled for #russia
They all use the same naming convention, have similar creation dates, and similar "stats', they also have very similar descriptions.
Regular twitter data never looks like that.
After pulling a timeline for about 20 of them you can see they are tweeting close to the same thing at the same time.

let me tell you about this 'cesspool of political bias' amidst the U.S. new international #snowflake policy of withdrawal from the Human Rights Council
are some of its members egregious human rights abusers? of course. it's comprised of member states of the UN, and it could do much better. until today it included the US, which separates children from parents at the border in violation of international law.
and yes, the Council condemns #Israel's behavior repeatedly, with multiple resolutions, upsetting many who may perceive this as disproportionate attention ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/HR…
