US President Donald Trump’s decision to launch direct strikes against Iranian nuclear sites has sparked a wave of anger in the country, with people on the streets of Tehran telling CNN they expect their country to strike back.
“Iranian people are people of honor, and we will definitely give a strong response,” one man told CNN. “We will stand strongly like we have been for the past 40 years,” he added.
Large crowds gathered at the Enqelab Square in central Tehran on Sunday evening, protesting the strikes. Footage published by the state-affiliated Fars News Agency showed people waving Iranian flags and punching the air, carrying signs that read: “Down with the USA, down with Israel.”
Hamid Rasaee, a politician, said even people critical of the regime were protesting.
“A lot of those standing here chanting slogans against the United States may have been critics of the policies of the Islamic Republic. But today all of us are standing in one line behind the supreme leader,” he told CNN.
Trump ordered attacks on three of Iran’s most important nuclear facilities early Sunday morning – a move that has placed the US in the center of the conflict between Israel and Iran.

CNN had to dig deep to find these credible sources!
Note the type of responses that the Communist News Network chose to televise.
This is ironic as before the strikes great pains in social media were taken to show the real side of Iran no one sees. Turns out we’ve all seen the real side since 1979.
Has CNN begun gathering donations for their ayatollah pals in Iran?
So, then: THIS is cnn’s hill to die on. This after lying about dem notification the other day.
Regardless whether in Israel or Iran, I hope their crews end up in a target zone.
Someone here recently commented about not seeing the kinds of videos prevalent during Iranian uprisings.
There will not be any regime change.
The crowds seem rather small.
Everybody can gather few people to show up for any reason.
I find the caricatures of Trump funny.
Look like professionally created.
Rank and file Iranians are not aware that the US is their best friend and their worst enemies are the mullahs.
Hamid Rasaee, a politician, said even people critical of the regime were protesting.
Baloney
Iran has religion in it self-righteous.
I would love to do a panel with Netanyahu, Trump and Khamenei and ask them how many women they have lusted after, how many men they have wanted to kill in their hearts and so on.
War sounds like Porn to me during WWII the soldiers had those pin up pictures to masturbate to.
In the movie Patton there’s a scene when Patton takes down a pinup girl in a barracks with his riding crop.
“This is a barracks, not a bordello”
The implication is that those soldiers would be engaging in sexual activity using those pictures. Sex with self.
General Hooker has his houses of prostitution during the Civil War and Military Government in Honolulu allowed prostitution for several years after Pearl Harbor.
Plenty of self-righteousness to go around not just in Iran.
every time they “gather” to protest... those protests should be targetted with missiles!
and when they “gather” to bury all the terrorists killed.... that group should be targetted also!!!
No, but a federal judge ordered Trump to give our nuclear arsenal to Iran.
(J/k but inevitable.)
That Amanpour broad will be over there shortly, showing blown up “aspirin” and “milk” factories…
CNN “punching the air.”
To the Iranians who desire a strong response, remember to duck!
“Dirtier”. From goat humpers, men that have their wives and daughters mutilated so they cannot enjoy sex, and probably only take showers when it rains, and it doesn’t rain much in Iran. Oh yeah, and everyone who is not a muslim is their enemy and should be converted or killed. Iranians are the dirtiest scum on earth.
There will not be any regime change.
You are very confused, there has already been regium change, the clowns in Tehran are a few weeks behind on the their understanding of the situation, looking around all the mechanism of government have fled. This is why there is no return fire out of the anti air sites, the manpower walked when someone said Israel. The region has been flooded with pictures from Gaza for 2 years, and Iran has many little towns with no military to speak of, and little in the religious police, its mountains and hills like WV to the front range, nice weather if you bother to climb a hill, and everyone has a family connection outside of Tehran except the people who were in power.
They can call for the straits of Hormoz to be closed, issued by twitter, but nobody is going to answer the phone at the navy base, they left for their family and went to tourist zone to see if they can buy their way out to OMAN. Iranians are not blind idiots, they will preserve themselves instead of die with the old men clowns.
Since Iran has sleeper cells in the US, seems we are already at war with Iran.
No one dirtier than Trump? Iranian leadership are Democrats, who knew?!
CA probably thinks she is on a list from trump that would be a valid target, she is on a list, but it is from Bibi and the entire IDF senior staff that she is one press agent not to go out of ones way to protect.
