 A variety of so-called #Iran “experts”, alongside Tehran apologists/lobbyists, have always flirted with the “rally around the flag” notion to voice opposition to any firm policy against the mullahs’ regime.

#IranProtests proved them all wrong.

 Reminder:

Woman tears down "Death to America" poster.
Crowd chants: "Death to the dictator," referring to @Khamenei_ir.

Iranians have no enmity against America. This is a 40-year lie promoted by the regime.
Iranians know their enemy: the mullahs.

20. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

#Iran: several thousand people gathered o the central market in the Arab city of #Ahwaz to protest against the Iranian regime and what they describe as "discriminating policies against the Arab people"
#Iran: the situation later turned violent after Iranian police tried to break up the Arab protest in #Ahwaz, using tear gas and rubber bullets on the people.

The protests are a response to insults being made towards the Arab people on Iranian TV
#Iran: the Arab city of #Ahwaz today. Women are facing off against the Iranian police as they protest the regime's discriminating policies
