Protests Against Regime Rage Across Iran. Unlike Obama Administration, Trump Administration Supports Them.

Over the weekend, protesters in Iran raged against Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei by publicly burning his image while other protesters chanted “Shah of Iran, return to Iran!”

According to Haaretz, protests ranged across at least a dozen cities after President Hassan Rouhani raised government-set gasoline prices by 50%. NetBlocks, which monitors worldwide internet access, reported on Saturday that it appeared the government had shut down the internet, tweeting: “Confirmed:‪#Iran is now in the midst of a near-total national internet shutdown; realtime network data show connectivity at 7% of ordinary levels after twelve hours of progressive network disconnections as public protests continue ‪#IranProtests.”
