These protestors did not believe the representatives of god on earth about the so called corruption arrests. Interesting how we never see the corrupted perpetrators of god on earth
and it is never any mullah, their kids, or the thieves among Sepah.


New Iran Protests, Clashes With Police Gaining Steam After Week Of Plummeting Rial
Here we go again... The AP reports on a new round of protests now spreading to multiple cities in Iran after the dramatic drop in the rial early this week, based on emerging social media footage:

The videos were being circulated on Thursday. They show dozens of demonstrators said to be on the streets in the town of Gohardasht, west of Tehran. The protesters are seen setting fire to police vehicles and shouting “death to the dictator.” Police respond with tear gas.

Iran's state-run media briefly acknowledged the pockets of unrest in scant reports noting the protests were "without official permission" and isolated, but a series of social media videos emerged Wednesday and early Thursday which appear to show protests and clashes with police gaining steam across multiple cities.

The Iranian rial dropped to an historic low this week just ahead of a new round of renewed US sanctions set to begin Monday, August 6.

Previously in July protesters clashed with police in short-lived demonstrations outside of parliament in Tehran as merchants of the Grand Bazaar shuttered their stores while economic woes amidst looming sanctions renewal and runaway inflation meant they lost money by merely staying open.

Those prior protests lasted only three days and included a swift crackdown by authorities; however this week's protest will likely continue to grow through the weekend.

Demonstrations involving crowds of hundreds were reported on Wednesday and Thursday in a handful of locations, including in the northern city of Rasht, as well as the city of Karaj, adjacent to Iran's capital.

Iran's currency is now nearing collapse ahead of sanctions. Days ago an elite top military commander urged President Hassan Rouhani to take "revolutionary actions" to prop up the falling rial.

Protesters appear to be responding primarily to a sharp hike in prices on imported products after the dollar's surge to record highs against the rial in black market trading. The unofficial rate of the Iranian rial plummeted to a record low at estimatesof between 112,000 and 120,000 rials against the dollar on concerns over the imminent return of full US sanctions.

Addressing Iran's president, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander Mohammad Ali Jafari said,“The unique and extensive backing you benefited from in past weeks shouldn’t preclude you from taking revolutionary actions to control prices and prevent the enormous increase in the price of foreign currency and gold,” in an open letter published by the privately owned Tasnim news agency. “Decision-making in today’s difficult circumstances necessitates revolutionary determination and decisiveness in dealing with certain managers’ weaknesses,” the IRGC top commander said.

With protests possibly in the early phases and as the August 6 US sanctions are set to take effect, things in Iran are likely about to get a lot worse.

Quite the contrary of the regimes mouth piece's claim of "unconventional slogans",The protests and their slogans certainly did not seem peaceful. He should elaborate further on why they attacked the "religious school in northern Iran". Could it be because Iranians are fed up with the savage ideology of camel/ape/sub-human hybrid culture of lizard eaters being preached to them by charlatans with fu.king bed sheets wrapped around the heads?

Rioters have reportedly attacked a religious school in the northern Iranian province of Alborz, causing material damage to the facility before being dispersed by the police.

The attackers pelted rocks and bricks at the center in the province’s Eshtehard County, Fars news agency reported on Saturday quoting the facility’s director.

They broke the praying room’s windows, shouting “unconventional slogans," Ali Hendiani told the agency.

They had assembled in response to a call to protests by “adversarial and anti-establishment groups so as to pursue the sinister goals of their masters,” he said.

More than 500 rioters gathered in front of the center the following day, shouting slogans but anti-riot police dispersed the gathering and rounded up some of the attackers, Fars said.

Limited protests against economic conditions have been held in Shiraz, Isfahan, Ahvaz and Karaj over the past few days. The protests have been largely described as peaceful without any major instance of violence.

Citizens are anxious over the collapse of the rial, which has lost nearly two-thirds of its value in six months and resulted in the rise of commodity prices.


PressTV-Iranians urged to unite to counter US 'economic war'
Iran's first vice president Es'haq Jahangiri calls on the nation to close ranks and counter a "serious economic war" launched by the United States.
Authorities have acknowledged that worries are legitimate but the biggest concern of many Iranians is that the protests might be hijacked by malicious groups inside and outside the country and turn violent.

In January, several Iranian cities were scenes of protests but they were hijacked by terrorist MKO elements, in which unknown elements opened fire at protesters and killed several people.

Iranian officials have said the voices of protesters need to be heard. However, they have warned of efforts by the enemies, the MKO and the royalists to manipulate the legitimate demands of the people and create mayhem.

The Islamic Republic is additionally wary of US plots under the new American administration to stir unrest in the country after pulling Washington out of a landmark nuclear deal and announcing new sanctions on Tehran.

There are some positive signs, however, with the government having pledged to put an economic plan together in order to ride out storm.

Iran's new central bank governor has promised fresh currency policies in the coming days, and the state has launched an unprecedented transparency push that has seen dozens of arrests of profiteers.

Ahmadinejad Apeals To Trump For Information On Iranian Green Card Holders
August 02, 2018

• Radio Farda

Iran. Tehran: Hamid Baghee بقایی former deputy of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad went back to Evin Prison.
Former Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad has called upon U.S. President Donald Trump to release the names of top Iranian officials’ relatives who live in the United States or hold green cards.

In a tweet directly addressed to Trump, Ahmadinejad wrote on August 1, “Mr. Donald Trump; release the list of relatives of Iranian Government officials that (sic) have Green Cards and bank accounts in the United States; if you have such a list.”



The issue of top officials and their relatives who carry U.S.green cards became a heated argument last month when an Iranian MP tabled it.

In an interview with so-called pro-reform daily Etemad, mid-ranking Shi’ite cleric and the chairman of the Nuclear Subcommittee of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee in the Islamic Consultative Assembly, MojtabaZonnour, claimed that on the sidelines of talks over the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), or Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers, President Barack Obama ordered 2,500 green cards issued for Iranians to curry favor with Tehran’s negotiating team.

Zonnour pointed out that only 30 to 40 of the children of top Iranian officials are currently “studying” in United States, while the majority are “wasting Iranian public assets” to live “extravagant lives” there.

The claim was widely reflected in the right-leaning media in the United States, and Fox News presented it in a special report.

Reacting to the news, Trump wrote in a tweet on July 3, “Just out that the Obama Administration granted citizenship, during the terrible Iran Deal negotiation, to 2,500 Iranians - including to government officials. How big (and bad) is that?”

Nevertheless, Jeff Prescott, former senior director of Obama's National Security Council, described the allegation as "absurd and entirely false."

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, for his part, also said on July 7, “Such issues have never been raised in (the nuclear) talks or on their sidelines or in any other way, not even a legitimate request like the abolition of restrictions on Iranian diplomats working at the United Nations.”

Meanwhile, several Iranian MPs launched a special committee to investigate the case of officials with dual citizenship.

According to the report filed by the committee, the children of many Iranian officials, for a variety of reasons, including education and birth, have gained citizenship abroad and, without renouncing their new nationalities, are active in the public and economic sectors in Iran.

In its report, the committee listed the children of the foreign affairs and oil ministers and the president’s top aides as those who have dual citizenship.

Ahmadinejad’s recent tweet is expected to stir up the controversial issue in Iran. Ahmadinejad, who has become a thorn in the side of the Iranian establishment by criticizing Tehran’s top officials, particularly the head of Iran’s judiciary, is notorious for his commentary.

Hours Before Trump Restores Iran Sanctions, Rouhani Says "Open To Negotiations"

Hours before renewed sanctions on Iran are set to snap back tonight at 12:01 a.m. US Eastern time, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has announced his country is "open to negotiations"while also calling on the European Union to urgently step up with practical action to save the 2015 nuclear deal.

His words, however, were generally couched in terms of a rebuke against "untrustworthy" Washington, saying Monday in an interview carried on state television: "Negotiations with sanctions doesn't make sense. They are imposing sanctions on Iranian children, patients and the nation."

Rouhani referred to items like medicines and other basic living necessities, while the first round of sanctions are also set to target primarily automobiles, currency, and gold.

Basic civilian safety related supplies will be impacted too as export or re-export commercial airplanes as well as services and parts will be banned. The second round of renewed sanctions are set to take effect on November 5, for which the US has pressured EU countries to cease receiving oil exports by this date.

Rouhani said Iran had "always welcomed negotiations" but that Washington would have to take clear steps to prove they can restore trust after reneging on the 2015 JCPOA.

"If you're an enemy and you stab the other person with a knife and then you say you want negotiations, then the first thing you have to do is remove the knife."

"How do they show they are trustworthy? By returning to the JCPOA."

And in an apparent reference to recent protests that initially arose in early summer primarily over a collapsing economy, he lashed out: "They want to launch psychological warfare against the Iranian nation and create divisions among the people," Rouhani said.

Rouhani's words, which could be taken as an ultimatum, are likely to leave the White House unmoved, which has ratcheted up the pressure in hopes that Iran will initiate renegotiations on Washington's terms.

In early August Trump's National Security Advisor John Bolton said in a Fox News interview, “They could take up the president’s offer to negotiate with them, to give up their ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programs fully and really verifiably not under the onerous terms of the Iran nuclear deal, which really are not satisfactory.”

“If Iran were really serious they’d come to the table. We’ll find out whether they are or not,"Bolton said.

Iran's president says he'll talk to Trump "right now"

Trump snaps back Iran sanctions aiming to change, not topple Tehran, officials say
Rouhani also sought to downplay the impact of newly reimposed US sanctions announced by the Trump administration on Monday -- reiterating his unspoken theme that it is the US, not Iran, that finds itself increasingly isolated.
"They will exert pressure on us and cause pain, but we will certainly come out of the end of this healthier," he said about the penalties that will go back into effect at 12:01am ET Tuesday.
"I think if in unison, if we work together, we will make America regret this action very quickly. If we work together, the world will understand and America will understand that these sanctions are not effective," Rouhani added.
Specifically, Rouhani said China and Russia have indicated they will not abide by US sanctions despite Trump's threat of "severe consequences" for those who continue to trade with Iran.
"Last month I was in Europe, conducted talks with China," Rouhani said. "Their promise: They will ignore the American sanctions."
"China is our biggest trading partner. China and Russia stated clearly they will stand with the framework of our agreement," he said.


What impact will US sanctions on Iran actually have?

Monday's announcement by the US covers the first of two rounds of sanctions the US is unilaterally reimposing as a result of leaving the Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
Rouhani also mentioned that when a French company pulled out of a gas project it had signed on to, China immediately stepped in to fill that void. "Under current conditions, Asian countries (are of) utmost importance to us," he said.
The sanctions that go into effect Tuesday cover the purchase or acquisition of US dollars by the Iranian government; trade in gold or other precious metals; the direct and indirect sale, supply or transfer to or from Iran of graphite, raw or semi-finished metals such as aluminum, steels and coal; as well as significant transactions of the Iranian currency; and on the country's auto sector.
The other signatories to the nuclear deal, including the European Union, Russia and China, are sticking with the accord. In a statement Monday, the EU, the UK, France and Germany said they "deeply regret" the US action. The EU announced it would take legal steps to protect EU companies "doing legitimate business in Iran."
