Targeting a Ukrainian passenger jet with a missile fired by IRGS Air Force anti-aircraft weapon that killed 176 passengers was a crime against humanity. This unprecedented development wounded all human hearts.
Following this heartbreaking incident, students at Iranian universities from 17:00 pm local time, on 21 January 2020, as previously announced by students in Sharif, Tehran, Amir Kabir, Moallem and Babol University held a protest rally in solidarity with the victims of the incident and chanted slogans such as; Khamenei is a killer-his government is void, Fear not, we are all together! Basiji be afraid we are all together, The Basiji is the killer of our nation, We will kill whoever killed our brothers.
Security forces fired tear gas to disperse the protesters. Students of Amir Kabir University’s directed their slogans at Khamenei and the Revolutionary Guards beat and chanted, our shame our stupid leader.
Al-Arabiya television cut its regular programming covers the uprising of students and people in Tehran.

Al-Arabiya reflects the slogans of the people against Khamenei and says the people demanding the supreme leader to quit.

Euronews breaking news said: as Iranians’ uprising slogans against Khamenei is at its peak.

The regime has slowed down and cut off internet access as soon as news and clips were posted on social networks.

Students chant Khamenei another slogan: IRGC dictator – You are Daesh (ISIS) to us.

Our disgrace, our disgrace, our state Radio &TV, Basiji is the killer of our nation

We did not have casualty to praise the killer leader.

IRGC be ashamed and leave the country.

People and students have gathered in front of Sharif and Poly-technic Universities. Security forces have fired tear gas into some areas, including Hafez Street.
Around 7 pm, students tore down a large banner or poster of Qassem Suleimani.

Students at Sharif University in Tehran shouted boldly in their ranks Death to the lying leader (Khamenei)!

US state department tweeted on Jan 11: We know that the protesters in Iran are fighting for the right to choose their own future – and we stand with them.

Secretary Pompeo tweeted: The voice of the Iranian people is clear.
They are fed up with the regime’s lies, corruption, ineptitude, and brutality of the IRGC under kleptocracy. We stand with the Iranian people who deserve a better future.

President Donald Trump tweeted: “America stands with the people of Iran in their courageous struggle for freedom.”

What’s the gun situation like among the civilians there?

Any chance or are they fodder for machine gun fire?

The CIA could do something useful and get guns to them.

Can we exchange these demonstrators for America-hating, Iran-supporting Leftists?

How’s that “slap in the face” going for you now Khamenei? You’ve got thousands protesting you in the streets, and a female Olympian medalist just defected. Hee hee.

Iranians are busy trying to rid themselves of the religious dictators that Democrats would like us to appease.

*************
It’s strange how the terrorist throughout the world, and throughout the region have weapons, massive amounts of weapons, but the regular citizens in Iran have none.

I had a couple of young Iranians working under me on student visas, they have masters in electrical engineering, smart kids! We discussed several times about whats going on over there, they were happy to not be over there and had a lot of praise for America and Trump. They also said that if they didnt have the opportunity to come here they were more than likely to become victims of the Iranian Regime. I started the ball rolling for the company to sponsor them for H1B status, best 2 engineers that I have had work under me. Unfortunately I am no longer with the company, but we still keep in touch.

If you’re on Twitter, go to #FreeIran and #ThnxPOTUS4Soleimani and you will see many posts of the faces of those 1500 slaughtered. The people have been tweeting them out.
