Video going viral among Iranians

#Iran's President @HassanRouhani was the first to leave today's prayers following Supreme Leader Ali @khamenei_ir's remarks.

Majlis (parliament) Speaker Ali Larijani looks in surprise.

More signs of the regime in crisis & divides deepening
@HassanRouhani @khamenei_ir While @khamenei_ir claims "millions of Iranians" support his regime, it is worth noting that authorities bused thousands of people to take part in today's event.
#Iran
@HassanRouhani @khamenei_ir Another major embarrassment for the mullahs in #Iran

Even state TV shows Iranian refusing to step on & disrespect the U.S. flag.

This was aired live on a "historic" day when @khamenei_ir presided the weekly Friday prayers for the first time in 8 years!

That order, confirmed by three sources close to the supreme leader’s inner circle and a fourth official, set in motion the bloodiest crackdown on protesters since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

Read our latest piece on what Zarif’s designation means for #Iran
irannewswire.org/what-zarifs-de…
Zarif’s designation was the most recent in a long list of sanctions in the US’s “maximum pressure” campaign.
According to Rouhani, the US started the campaign after the nationwide 2018 protests in almost all of Iran’s provinces.
Protesters chanted “down with Khamenei” and denounced both factions of the regime. They called for the downfall of the regime in its entirety chanting “reformers, hardliners, the game is over”.
It was then that the world realized the regime’s days were numbered.

The legacy of #Iran’s presidents since 1979 shows almost 40 years of bloodshed, suppression and corruption, which has left 80% of the population under the line of poverty.

40 year legacy of #Iran’s presidents
Each president came to power with a diverse slogan they believed appealed to the public, yet they all shared one goal; to keep the regime in power no matter what. After all,they had all sworn to & answered only to Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.
Seyed Ali Khamenei
The current Supreme Leader of Iran was the president during the height of the Iran-Iraq war. The war lead to the death and injury of around 2 million Iranians including tens of thousands of child soldiers used to clear minefields.

Recent unrests in Iran were neither entirely about inequality, nor fully about democracy. They were more about one thing: Succession to the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.
#Iran #IranProtests
President Rouhani, a moderate reformer, has turned out to be a solid contender since his landslide victory last year. Hence the rise of unprecedented challenges by hardliners, and, as a senior reformist politician recently said, much more problems than former president Khatami.
Rouhani ran a successful campaign in 2013 against Iran’s hardliners with a ambitious platform (at the time) of saving the economy (through a nuclear deal) and ending the police state (by keeping social media unblocked), both caused by Ahmadinejad and his hardline allies.
