They also protested during the presidency of one of the Bushes. He sort of verbally encouraged them, but that was it, and the unrest was put down.
I remember the protests to oust the Shah when I was in Iran in 3-77 until 2-79. The protests were certainly noisy with a lot of participants.
Be patient. Shummer, Pelosi and Biden are trying to find a plane to carry the pallets of cash again.
I’ve known a few Persians from Iran (older than me) that want nothing to do with Islam or the government, and want Iran to go back to PRE-Islam. All of them had to (unwillingly) go through the required military service, and hate the Iranian government even more because of that.
Thankfully, they were able to escape Iran (and ended up seeking asylum in Japan).
I am curious as to what Reza thinks about all of this and does he have plans to return.
The Iranians have lousy timing.
They protest when Obama & Biden are occupying the White House, not when Trump was there and would have supported them….financially as well as with public encouragement.
No, not with troops.
Sounds like Khamenei could be sleepy Joe’s brother, just as dumb, crooked and corrupt. Unfortunately, they don’t have the second amendment in Ian.
That could greatly harm Kerry and Biden’s kickback.
He plays a better sitar.
Sounds like there is more to the story.
Over the years I’ve met quite a few oil men whom had worked in Persia/Iran. Seen photographs of the areas, and it looks like the mountains of the southwest.
I fear the area will remain unstable and I’ll never get a chance to see the place myself.
I remember that during the days of the Shah, IRAN was pretty stable and becoming modernized. Since the uprisings that started in 1978, IRAN has been anything but stable.
He is overdue and satan is not happy. Hopefully someone will send him on his way soon.
