Iranian protesters intensified nationwide demonstrations over the past 24 hours, directly appealing to President Donald Trump while chanting anti-regime slogans. Footage published Wednesday showed a protester in Tehran symbolically renaming a street after Trump, while other videos captured handwritten appeals reading, “Don’t let them kill us,” Iran International reported.

Holly Dagres, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute, posted the video on X stating, “Since Trump’s comments about the Iran protests, I’ve seen numbers videos of Iranian protesters either thanking him or, in this case, renaming streets after the US president.”

The appeals came as demonstrators faced a widening security crackdown, including the deployment of armed units and tear gas near major civilian sites in Tehran.

Can you imagine how floating on air Trump was when he heard that?

[CharlesOConnell]

But, wait, didn’t Trump just bomb their nuclear sites?

And didn’t Trump commend the Iraqi P.M. for holding a peace conference—that just happened to broker peace between the Sunni Saudis and their ancient religious enemies the Iranian Shi’a, cutting out the Abraham Accords, then when Qasim Soleimani was headed there, have him VAPORIZED on the way from the airport?

And aren’t GOP Congressmen like Rep. Tom McClintock in favor of COMMUNIST M.E.K. taking over the country?

Sounds like clashing narratives.

Why are we supposed to believe really odd stories?

Remember, the MSM Plantation is now a burned out, smoking hulk.

[skimbell]

Yeah, but can you imagine the d/s/c reaction to that same information?
