Protesters bring down Khamenei banner across from a Basij Station. The station was where basiji shot at protesters during 2009 protests.

Pay attention...I said Wiki Leaks ‘PEOPLE’.....they did so in Egypt and they will do so here.

Egypt was Obama's first use of our Intel agencies to begin the process of enacting his own vision of what the world should look like. Namely, a radical Muslim caliphate. So were his actions in Libya and then Syria (and Yemen and elsewhere). To be more specific, Obama wanted a caliphate throughout the region run by his friends, the Muslim Brotherhood.

Hoping their leaders will meet a Nicolae Ceaușescu moment !

Maybe then, Democrats and some Republicans will then get the picture of the possible fate that awaits them.

I don’t have time to discuss this now....enough to say Morsi was Ob’s and Hillary’s guy ‘they’ put in office. The Egyptian people booted hiM out!

Exactly. Obama gave his MB led caliphate a good try, but like everything else he did, it ultimately failed.

They need the military leaders behind them.......already they’re imploring the police to side with them. This is going to take time......but much better organized than before.

Ob was a very weak President.....surrounded by power hungry women led by Jarrett and Hillary...and his controlling wife. The guy didn’t have a spine of his own....couldn’t stand alone and still doesn’t.

Barack Hussein Obama and Valerie Jarrett deeply-saddened.

The internet is making it way harder for Iranian leaders to stop groups from organizing and from knowing the truth.

Same in the USA.

The regime has been expecting localized unrest, but not diffused into multiple geographical sites as is happening now.....so far the protestors do not have military and police support, though they’re working on it...... So restrained action is very needed.

Well currently Iran Gov. has blocked the Internet as much as possible......however this is too well organized for the protest leaders not to have considered this would happen.....I suspect they have other means of communication......perhaps even the dark net.

"Wake me up when the U.S. starts fomenting unrest in radical Islamic sh!t-holes like Saudi Arabia"

Wake Up!

He did it right up front with his big visit to Saudi Arabia, with the whole Sunni world invited. The Crown Prince has arrested the leading extremist preachers (some with millions of twitter followers), and dumped them in prison without trial. This is the biggest change in Saudi Arabia in decades.

I think they had to demonstrate they were standing down their jihadi support, before the US (Trump) would agree to bail them out of their quagmire with Iran. Now it is the Iranian regime's turn.

I want to see this guy go down, for leading the killing of so many Americans:
