Iran Officials Defiant But Overwhelmed By Protests As Evidence of Brutality Surface

More than 10 days after Iranians took to the streets in protest to a sudden gasoline price hike, the Iranian government is still overwhelmed by the aftereffects of the unrest and its violent suppression by security forces.

In the meantime, fresh videos of the violent suppression have been uploaded on social media following partial restoration of internet service which has been cut off for about a week to conceal use of lethal force by security forces from the watchful eyes of international human rights organizations and world media.

One of the latest videos shows security forces attacking a man in the head with an axe before shooting him three times at point blank range.

-Excerpt-

According to Iranian officials the protests were quickly turned into political turmoil as demonstrators chanted slogans against the Islamic Republic and its leader Ali Khamenei demanding his removal or death.

Security officials say that protest have rocked 28 of Iran's 31 provinces.

Adyani further said that 182 protests leaders who were linked to the Iranian opposition and Saudi Arabia have been arrested. No evidence has been presented to prove these claims. Cautious estimates by Radio Farda puts the number of those killed at 138 and those arrested during the protests at around 4800.

This is why you cannot take the Euro trash seriously on anything. Despite all their bloviating about Human Rights, they will still keep doing business with these corrupt lunatics in Iran.

“A provincial official also said that in four cities in Fars Province; Shiraz, Sadra, Noor Abad and Kazeroun, “Around 200 banks and 20 gas stations have been totally destroyed”.”

Another Obama failure...

If Zero had given them $5 billion worth of electric cars, instead of $5 billion cash on pallets, they wouldn’t be having this problem.

They would have stripped out the electronics and batteries and built missiles out of them, or subs, or something.

I have a new opinion on that.
Since Obama intentionlly slowed the American economy, he threw our trading partners into recessions. Those in recessions are desperate for business, so any business will do.
Also, by Obama purposefully flooding them with immigrants , with the immigrants they already had trenched in government and business it became easy for the new Europeans to do business with their brothers.
The infiltration and death of traditional Europe is well on it’s way.
Soon its a part of a caliphate.
IF you haven’t noticed the marxists and muslim “death to America” coalition has a war going on against the western European Christians (whitey).
We see that same war here on our ground.

Would love to see the brutal clerics in Iran treated like their victims.

Last time the Iranians protested, unfortunately, Obama was in the WH here.

I bet that you can’t find that on Youtube.

Yeah, well, we have to look in the mirror because GHW Bush let the ChiComs run over their own people with tanks because his GOP supporters had already adjusted their portfolios in anticipation of a couple of decades of cheap Chinese labor.

How much can gas cost there? If they double the price it’s still probably less that a buck/gal. Just sayin’
