Video of statue being set alight.
Protesters in Iran on Thursday set fire to a statue of former Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani, footage obtained by Iran International shows.
The website reported that the incident took place in the city of Lali in Khuzestan, located in southwestern Iran.
It comes on the eve of the anniversary of the elimination of Soleimani in a US drone attack in Iraq, on January 3, 2020.
Earlier on Thursday, Iranian media reported that the ongoing clashes and riots in Iran, which started as part of a broader wave of protests in the country, have claimed the lives of five individuals in the past 24 hours.
According to the reports, the five protesters were killed in confrontations with the police in Lorestan province in the western part of the country.

If the regime of the mullahs is overthrown by the people, Iran will become the first nation in history to abjure Islam. This will be the biggest shockwave to hit that religion since the defeat of the Turks at the Gates of Vienna in 1683.
That’s perhaps a message to Trump, since he killed Solemani.
There was also Kemal Ataturk’s secularization program after WW I. A hundred years later, it’s gone. But at the time, it was a big deal.
A thank you, or an angry message, do you think?
I hope they took his fancy ring.
In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
Also in 1492, Spain defeated the last Islamic stronghold. They called it the 700 year war to rid Spain of the scourge.
They called it the Reconquista.
Will Europe / England need another 700 years to defeat them again? Will Europe and England just fold?
I think a plea for him to support them.
Yes, but radical Islamists talk about retaking Spain. So the expulsion of the Moors may be only temporary.
It’s interesting that the Iranian protests kicked off the day after Trump and Netanyahu met in Mar-a-Lago to discuss various issues relating to the Middle East security. I’m sure the timing is entirely coincidental. /s
Stay suspicious, my friends.
There’s a big difference between overthrowing Iran’s 1953 government and overthrowing the mullah regime. I’m assuming elements of our government are in contact with the protesters - and that’s a good thing. I would be more concerned if I found out they weren’t.
Also the year of the mass expulsion of all Jews and Muslims who refused to convert to Christianity. Also the beginning of the end of Spanish imperial ascendance. The Netherlands seceded. Portugal laid claim to part of the New World, and the Pope broke them off Brazil.
Might be the first time the CIA did anything good for a long time. It remains to be seen what replaces the theocrazy.

Man, that’s sad. New York City had SUCH high hopes for him too ...
(In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.)
Dr. Smith said, “In 1493, Columbus sailed the deep blue sea.”

The mullah regime toppled the last puppet we installed there; in 1953, we participated in the overthrow of an elected official.
What would make any efforts of ours here superior to our efforts in the last coup in that country?
HMMMmmm...
Video, of statue being set alight.

You may be right.
Commas both superfluous. Read Strunk & White’s Elements of Style.
The West defeated Islam militarily. Now they just walk right in, with the support of our governments.
