2)
@nargesbajoghli & @NIACouncil were also blaming U.S. sanctions.
3)
@tparsi & @SinaToossi were busy blaming other foreign elements. Again, diverting attention away from the mullahs' regime.
4)
@lrozen & @FaghihiRohollah focused on turning attention away from @HassanRouhani & blaming hardliners, to then blame U.S. sanctions for empowering hardliners.
5)
@yarbatman takes his gloves off and completely justifies the regime's bloody crackdown that left over 1,000 dead, more than 4,000 injured and at least 12,000 behind bars.
