TEHRAN, IRAN — Iran's government abruptly raised gasoline prices and imposed strict rations early Friday prompting large protests in major cities across the country with angry crowds calling for the ouster of President Hassan Rouhan.

The price of fuel has been increased by up to 300 percent in some locations exacerbating the fears of protesters already struggling under extreme economic pressure as its economy worsens under U.S. sanctions.

They love to blame the fuel price increase and ignore the anti-government aspect that is really driving these protests. Yes, higher fuel prices and rations were the spark, but underneath is a bigger story that may require crediting the president's plan with some success.

Thank you Prez Trump for the rioting. Looks like your sanctions will let the ba$tards self destruct.

Yep. The Donald’s foreign policy success are quite amazing. He has weakened all of Americas foreign enemies. At the same time, his domestic enemies are bashing themselves by running into the Donald’s wall. Reminds me of the Reagan years. Good times.

They need more money to finance the Islamic Jihad’s rockets and pay the Iranian technicians to create bigger warheads (now over 300kg) to devastate the Nagev area of Israel, while keeping up payments to Hamas and Hezbollah. A 300% increase is just what’s necessary - now that all the money from Obama is safely in Swiss bank accounts

Trump should throw gasoline on the fire. Once the mullahs are gone he can then call for the overthrow of Cuba. Strike while the iron is hot I say.

I thought they just found a 50 billion barrel reserve of oil.

Gas should be free in Iran.
