Statement from the Press Secretary Regarding Protests in Iran
whitehouse.gov ^ | Nov 17, 2019 | Whitehouse

Posted on 11/18/2019 10:57:47 AM PST by ransomnote

The United States supports the Iranian people in their peaceful protests against the regime that is supposed to lead them.  We condemn the lethal force and severe communications restrictions used against demonstrators.  Tehran has fanatically pursued nuclear weapons and missile programs, and supported terrorism, turning a proud nation into another cautionary tale of what happens when a ruling class abandons its people and embarks on a crusade for personal power and riches.

The mullahs don’t have the hard currency their goons and thugs demand to bash heads to keep the people in line. Nor do they have Obama to send them airplanes with pallets of hard cash.

They ran through Hussein’s 150 billion gift pretty fast.

‘Peaceful’ protests + $3 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

Sounds exactly like the American political class.

Repeating a post made hours ago on a similar thread only because it educates people that Iranians are really good peoplo who could really stabilize the Middle East if they could just be rid of their deep state.

BEFORE AND AFTER

Iran was once a first rate economic country with plenty grown at home to feed itself, great roads, hospitals, schools, a large and prosperous middle class. Then they became a Venezuela before Venezuela went off the rails.

Nearly every radicalized crazed Iranian today is forced to be that way OR ELSE.

Iranians today want more than anything to be liberated from the demagogues that control their every thought, their every move.

Pray they see FREEDOM during the era of President Trump.
