US President Donald Trump has tweeted his support to the people of Iran, saying "I've stood with you since the beginning of my Presidency."

Hundreds of Iranian protesters demanded Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei step down on Saturday after Tehran admitted that its military had mistakenly shot down a Ukrainian plane, killing all 176 people on board.

“Commander-in-chief [Khamenei] resign, resign,” videos posted on Twitter showed hundreds of people chanting in front of Tehran’s Amir Kabir university.

The concealment of the Ukrainian jet downing by the Iranian authorities raised questions among the republic’s citizens, leading to the renewal of the protests.

“They were so careful not to kill any American in their revenge for Soleimani. But they did not close the airport? This shows how much this regime cares for Iranians,” said Iranian citizen Mira Sedaghati.

“This is not human error. This is a crime against humanity,” said exiled Persian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi on Saturday. “He who has irresponsibly empowered his thugs to fire at will at innocents bears full responsibility. #Enough_is_enough. Khamenei and his regime must go.”

The MSM, corrupt as the Universe is immense,
protects the Mullahs, leaks milint through Kerry and
the rest, and will not help the ELECTED PRESIDENT
free the Iranian people from the Mullahs.

Given the connections at the top of the MSM
to the Obola admin. and Iran,
is anyone really surprised?

Khamenei is in one of those jobs you can only leave by the doorway to death. If he quits he no longer has the power to protect himself from the thousands of vengeful people he harmed but failed to kill. They will get him legally or illegally. Even if, as is likely, he stole enough money to live comfortably and to have full time security, without the power of his current role, some government will arrest him. His job is the very definition of having a tiger by the tail.

So do we have DKS now?

Nanzi considers Khamenei to be unimpeachable/impeccable.

Most amazing events happening in Iran PERSIA now. Reminds me so much of the fall of the USSR.

POTUS is inspiring Persia to oust Islam from its history.

REACTIONS OF IRANIAN PEOPLE WE WON'T SEE IN OUR FAKE NEWS

I would not be surprised at all to see the Persian people revoke the name 'Iran' (Hitler's concoction) returning the country to its historical roots as a thriving civilization with a diversity of religious freedoms, religious tolerance and rebirth of Christendom in its land and influence.

This is such an historic time we live in.

What would really blow my mind would be to see Persia establish a list of inalienable rights of and for its people including the right to keep and bear arms. That would ensure that never again would an autocratic regime take the Persian people hostage.

BEFORE THE ISLAMIC REVOLUTION OF 1979

[SoCal Pubbie]

According to Wikipedia, “The term Iran derives directly from Middle Persian Ērān, first attested in a third-century inscription at Rustam Relief, with the accompanying Parthian inscription using the term Aryān, in reference to the Iranians.[43] ” The word Persia is actually derived from the Greek Persís.

[mosesdapoet]

THAT WAR IS THIS:
MSM and reporting news agencies reporting knowingly avoid referencing the religious aspect of these conflicts. Portraying the conflicts going on between entities in the area as territorial when they are actually sectarian. Based on enforcing absolute conformity to a theocracy. That orders followers to adhere to Koranic laws who’s theological assertions have gone unquestioned or unchallenged by leading monotheistic religious leaders like Pope Francis. Followers obeying what they claim are Our Creator’s orders which has them authorized by God to execute unbelievers including those fleeing the area they control.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Although highly unlikely, if not impossible, I would kill to see the reaction of the left if Trump someone reverted the Iranian government to how it was pre-Islamic revolution.

[bert]

Well, he can flee back to France

[jazminerose]

The same courageous people that BO turned his back on as they begged for our help.

Never forget dear Neda.

[jazminerose]

You mean, pre-Carter?

Back when the Iranian people were well educated and Westernized? The women cared about our fashions and shopping?

You know, normal.

[Gen.Blather]

That guy, “Ayatullah al-Uzma Ruhollah Khomeini Sayyid Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini “ died on June 3, 1989. The present guy, who took over in 1989 is, “Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei.” See the difference? A MUCH shorter name.

[I want the USA back]

Betting that the left and the media (excuse the redundancy) will start saying that Trump is interfering in iran’s election and internal affairs.

[Hostage]

Thank you. Greece was also known as Hellas or Hellada and its civilization and society were described as Hellenistic.

Historically TO THE WESTERN WORLD, the country of IRAN was always known as PERSIA.

Persia was born c. 550 BC starting with Cyrus the Great and included many conquests including the scripturally referred nation of Babylon.

For centuries the region of the Achaemenid Empire was called ‘Persia’. The references to Aryan and Iran came later and were drudged up by Hitler and others. The ancient references cited to ‘Arya’ were dug up to justify the name change’

Although I don’t generally like to cite Wikipedia, this quote conforms with other accounts:

“On the 25th December [1934] the Persian Ministry for Foreign Affairs addressed a circular memorandum to the Foreign Diplomatic Missions in Tehran requesting that the terms “Iran” and “Iranian” might be used in official correspondence and conversation as from the 21st March next instead, of the words “Persia” and “Persian” hitherto in current use. His Majesty’s Minister in Tehran has been instructed to accede to this request.”

“In 1936, the Hitler Cabinet declared Iranians to be immune to the Nuremberg Laws, as they were considered to be “pure Aryans””

Hitler in the 1930s was welcomed by Persian rulers, why?

It goes back further. Germany had developed close cultural and economic ties to Persia from the 1800s. Persia was also essential to German oil supply.

During WWI, Russians had shelled the Persian Parliament and the British had led and signed the 1919 Treaty that forced draconian measures on Germany. These harsh economic measure on Germany affected Persia economically. This set Persians against Russians and Brits. Hitler stepped in and was welcomed by the Persian government. Hitler’s urging to change the name from Persia to Arya or Iran was taken as a step to divorce Persia’s history from other Western powers and follow Hitler’s prescription to recognize the Aryan people as superior to Western powers holding Hitler as a strategic partner in rising up in prominence against those Western powers. Hitler’s campaign was essentially that the impoverishment of the German and Aryan peoples as a result of the 1919 Treaty was a result of its people forgetting their superior past, that former German leaders had sold out the master race of German and Aryan people.

To put into perspective the ‘names of nations’, consider as an example France. France is made up of 28 provinces, each having their own distinct dialect and history from the feudal era. Indeed the dialects are still spoken by the elderly in these provinces. The language of French is a ‘national language’ and the notion of ‘France’ is one of a national government with the name ‘France’ adopted historically to encapsulate many sub-regions and cultures.

A little off topic but a good place to bring up the current developments. The above account of Hitler and Iran is one reason why the Left refers to Trump as Hitler. They assert that the rise of Trump follows the form of Hitler’s rise. But Trump is a fighting humanitarian whereas Hitler was always a monster in more ways than one. Trump is focused on America whereas Hitler was focused on world domination by a master race of Aryans.

There’s a lot more to share about history but for now this suffices.

Persia was on it’s way to becoming such a wonderful place. Islam ruined it

[PapaBear3625]

Back when the Iranian people were well educated and Westernized? The women cared about our fashions and shopping?

When Ayatullah Khomeini came to power, thanks to Carter, the Iranian people did not suddenly become uneducated and non-Westernized.

What happened was the (mostly rural) Islamic fundamentalists came into power, and put reliable Islamists into every important position. They also organized the Basij Militia into their version of the Nazi brown-shirts, true-believers with the job of keeping the Westernized educated Iranians under their thumbs, and being given cushy jobs as a reward.

I could see a future Democrat administration doing something similar with certain "protected group", affirmative action people. We already have the beginnings of it with Antifa.

[JudgemAll]

Iran felt confident it could playing others’ backyards, from Karballa to DC traitors, but now they cannot have the argument of not meddling in their own affairs. Ie their meddling in their own affairs invited a lot of openings and arguments home.

DKS? (The coffee hasn’t kicked in yet)

[Patriot Babe]

Carter has no shame nor is he sorry for siding with the mullahs than the Shaw. He acts as if nothing happen.
