Protests against the Islamic regime in Iran continued early Saturday morning, amid a reported deadly crackdown on demonstrators. TIME magazine cited a Tehran doctor speaking on condition of anonymity that just six hospitals in the capital recorded at least 217 killed protesters, “most by live ammunition.”
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei earlier in the day slammed the protesters as foreign-influenced agitators, dismissing U.S. President Donald Trump as having hands “stained with the blood of Iranians.”
State media later referred to the demonstrators as “terrorists,” setting the stage for a violent crackdown as in other protests in recent years.
Protesters are “ruining their own streets ... in order to please the president of the United States,” Khamenei said. “Because he said that he would come to their aid. He should pay attention to the state of his own country instead.”
Trump meanwhile reiterated his pledge to back peaceful protesters with force.
"Iran's in big trouble. It looks to me that the people are taking over certain cities that nobody thought were really possible," he said in a video circulated on social media. "We're watching. I made the statement very strongly that if they start killing people like they have in the past, we will get involved." …

Where have they been the last two weeks ?
On Toulsi Tv, the host estimated that it might take a week to take Iran back from the Mullahs, although that is definitely not the end of it.
The Iranian military is pretty effective against unarmed civilians.
I’m so focused on Tousi and Goldie youtube channels I partially burnt dinner this evening. I’m not even Iranian but those Ayatollahs have caused my country (USA) and others much grief. I’ve known and dated a few iranians who were in exile here.
Aufwiedersehen towel heads.
I was a young teen when these goat humping sphincters took over in Iran in 1979.
FAFO
I’m surprised Obama hasn’t weighed in here yet.

Trump said the US wouldn’t allow the Ayatoilet to slaughter citizens.
He probably high tailed it to Moscow like a COWARD before ordering the slaughter.

As a veteran, the change started for me in 1979 … have been looking forward to this day for 47 years
I know what you mean. I've been glued to TousiTV on YouTube off and on for most of the day today, and I just learned about Goldie a few hours ago, and I've been liking her posts.
I am so proud of the Iranian people, and I hope they are successful in overthrowing the Ayatollah and his totalitarian regime.
Jawohl!
NUKE TEHRAN!
Odds way over 50% this is a bogus story.
Al Jazeera is Sunni. No great affinity for Iran. But they are the only ones on site.
Everything else is bloggers funded by instigators.
We're about the same age, I remember the Iran hostage crisis too.
I'm glad that this day has finally come.
I have followed tousi for a while but also only learned of goldie today.
This probably crosses POTUS’s threshold for supporting action.
The mullahs need to be sent back to the 7th century with extreme prejudice.
