"Death to Palestine!"

This sounds like something that Khamenei dreamed up to justify kicking out Rouhani. It has the fundamentalist block-headed MO.

The Supreme Leader and cronies face a Hobson’s Choice between either drastically changing the regime’s policies or relinquishing power.

Either course would lead to the death of the Islamic Republic.

This is compounded by the fact the regime isn’t in a position to reward and protect its core supporters.

If it can’t rely on them, upon whom can it rely? It seems like its days in power are numbered.

But it should be remembered a dying animal can be a cornered and dangerous one.

That makes the whole situation both hazardous and unpredictable - given the deep unpopularity of the regime.

“A dollar is currently worth as much as 90,000 rials, compared with 65,000 rials just before Mr Trump’s announcement and 42,890 at the end of 2017.”

Half the value in a year and a half.

I wonder what it was back when the Shah was around?

Oh - found it! (Not surprising - “on 15 March 1978, 71.46 rials equaled one U.S. dollar”)

As the Beatles sang “So you say you want a revolution...”

Why would Khamenei want the crowds to chant “Death to Palestine!”? How do the fundamentalists benefit by that approach?

Of course I suppose a 1978 dollar is worth about .25 2018 dollars, but still.

0bama ignored the freedom protestors and Islamic murders. He gave them billions to help their nuke program. They should be protesting 0bama much more.

This is a total hoax. Debka is a fake news propaganda agency.

The problem for Iran’s government is that China wants a peaceful Mideast- so China can pay for oil with goods instead of Yuan.
China can’t upport an Iran that’s standing in it’s way.

Really? What on earth is your problem?

The Washington Post is also reporting it.

Raiderboy, you will write anything to support the Islamofascists. You are the propagandist for Hamas and now you are supporting the Iranian government against freedom. You are the dictionary definition of a TROLL.

Interestingly, Raiderboy challenged the reality of these protests earlier on that thread, and was shown multiple sources like the BBC and Wall Street Journal, before he denied it again on this thread.

Be gentle with him.

Did you know that Hamas is not Iranian? It actually is Sunni Saudi Arabian like ISIS. Actually , the Iranians ( Shiite) played a greater role in the destruction of isis. Some are no unaware .
