The Iranian people will enjoy a better future when their government begins to respect basic human rights, abandons its revolutionary posture and its destabilizing activities in the region, and simply behaves like a normal nation. The choice is with the regime. #IranProtests
The move makes economic sense. It had previously been recommended by the IMF. The usual suspects have used the announcement to launch protests and riots in several Iranian cities. Some banks were set on fire and security personal were attacked. The CIA and the MEK cult are certainly trying to push for additional disturbances. The Iranian government cut internet access to prevent that. As long as I can remember such protests and riots have happened in Iran every other year or so. They usually die down within a week. I am confident that the same will happen this time.
To support protests in Iran you would be supporting the MEK, the Iranian MEK in Iran had being funded by both American political parties just two years ago.
Damn sure sent billions of US tax dollars , in the dark of night , not approved by Congress , to the mullahs.
Giuliani spoke to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an umbrella coalition largely controlled by the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MeK), which was once listed as a terrorist organisation in the US and Europe and is still widely viewed as a Marxist-Islamist cult built around the personality of its leader, Maryam Rajavi.
Days of protests in Iran over rising fuel prices and a subsequent government crackdown have killed more than 100 people across the country, according to rights group Amnesty International.
In a statement on Tuesday, the UK-based organisation accused Iranian security forces of using "excessive and lethal force" to crush the demonstrations since they started on Friday.
"At least 106 protesters in 21 cities have been killed, according to credible reports," Amnesty said.

I'm not talking about armed militias and reasons for the government's need to use self defense.
When Syrian rebels protested against Assad, there was no armed militia or army fighting the government. We're talking about everyday protesters who are unarmed and gathering in large numbers to disrupt, not to take down governments through a planned strategic war.
Sanctions are an act of war.

Oh I’ve read all the propaganda. And the investigative journalism. And the history. And I’ve served my time in the military. It’s quite clear to me who the aggressors are. I’m good thanks.
