Unlike former president Barack Obama , who turned a blind eye when Iranian protesters tried to mount their Green Revolution in Iran in 2009, President Trump has made his support for such sentiments clear. On Wednesday, protests against the despotic regime in Iran broke out in Kazerun; government forces responded with military force; reports said a number of Iranian protesters were killed by government forces.
