Protesters took the streets in more than a half-dozen cities in Iran for a second day Friday, risking their lives to challenge the Islamist tyranny that has prevailed in the country since 1979, when it held American diplomats hostage.
Whether the protests last only another day or persist long enough to imperil the Iranian regime, President Trump should make it clear that America gives the protesters our moral support.
The protests began as demonstrations against austere economic conditions but have now grown to express general opposition to the Islamist government.
Instead of the usual Iranian crowds stage-managed by government thugs to chant “death to America” or “death to Israel,” we instead see spontaneous protesters crying “death to the dictator” and “death to Rouhani,” referring to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.
Protests have even spread to Qom, the intellectual heartland of the 1979 Islamist revolution and the onetime base of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini when he successfully worked to destroy Iran’s secular government before 1979....

Of course they deserve support. They deserved it in 2009 but didn’t got any unlike Moslem Brotherhood in Egypt and Syria. Kinda shows priorities of State Dept.
MSM is refusing to report this news....they actually support the mullahs just as Obama did.
Only FOX “News”, the mouthpiece of Soros and Romney
and the globalists, would lecture President Trump
-— whom they HATE as they Mockingbird-lie each day —
to do what POTUS is obviously already doing:
Making the world great again,
in spite of FOX “News” and the
hated, corrupt, lying-like-a-RINO MSM.
Yes, liberal EU and dem party will try their best to defend Obama’s legacy:the neclear deal.
How do we show moral support?
Many reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with regime’s corruption & its squandering of the nation’s wealth to fund terrorism abroad. Iranian govt should respect their people’s rights, including right to express themselves. The world is watching! #IranProtests

Iran is also big biz for the EU. EU corporations have been violating sanctions for years. And when sanctions were lifted, it was Katie bar the door.
Sounds like they have no courage for their so called morals considering the kind of people who get prison and/or execution in Iran ordered by the Mullahs.
Nope.
We are not setup for this and the timing is not right for us.
Get back to us in Trump’s 2nd term...
Back when I was young and low-info an Iranian exile assured me that Iran was much better off under the Shah. I was also in communication with an Iranian defetor who contacted me here on the forum.
Iran has been governed with ridiculous obsession, a lust for violent conquest. The people were just pawns, but now that the internet keeps growing in use and in freedom [such as the Dark Web], it’s getting difficult for any tyrant to control any population.
Persians are a great people who only need to flush their Muslim overlords down the toilet. Then bring back Zoroastrianism and other sane religions.
Shuck off you retarded Mullahs! btw These scummy Mullahs control much Iranian wealth via phony, bogus, BS “foundations” that they deal family members into. Who don’t have to be that religious, they just have to be somewhat business competent.
Trump has already signaled his support via Twitter and Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
You bring up a good point. There is a lot to factor in if we support dissent. We already have a lot on our plate with North Korea, but then again ...
IRAN HELPS NORTH KOREA NUKE UP. They are ALLIES.
Does Iran smuggle oil to North Korea? Can we effectively isolate them? The Persian Gulf is quite narrow, BTW.
It’s up to Trump. If he encourages them, then what are we to do? If he keeps silent, what are we to do?
Yes, obama’s nuclear deal did a big favor to EU, America just played a role of an useful idiot and literally got nothing.
When in doubt, do what’s right.
I admire his courage and trust that Mad Dog’s team has the matter in hand.
‘Iran is also big biz for the EU. EU corporations have been violating sanctions for years.’
Interesting.
Part of the corrupt Gravy Train.
As soon as the white truck moves, CNN will start covering it
Then there’s the ‘Food for Oil’ scandal which exposed massive UN corruption.
