Iranian
Protesters Target Supreme Leader: 'Death To The Dictator'

As the
rial, the Iranian currency, continues its plunge, and as Iran gets ready for
the sanctions instituted by the Trump Administration to be implemented on
Monday, the protests against the despotic, theocratic government in Iran
are reaching
a new level, with protesters reportedly chanting, “Death to the
dictator,” a reference to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Noting the
recent revelations that Iran’s leaders are raking
in millions while the people suffer economic deprivation, some
protesters also chanted, “The nation is forced to beg while the leader lives
like God,” according to the National Council of Resistance (NCR) of Iran.
Iran's
state-run news agency IRNA reported that on Tuesday and Wednesday, roughly 200
people demonstrated in the city of Karaj, west of Tehran. In videos reportedly
from Gohardasht, a suburb of Karaj, demonstrators have been shouting “Death to
the dictator.” In Sari, roughly 100 people protested; other protests occurred
in Shiraz, Ahavz and Mashhad.
M. Hanif
Jazayeri of the NCR stated, “Mullahs must answer for wasting Iran's wealth on
terror.” Maryam Rajavi, NCR's president-elect, has said the regime must be
toppled. She stated, “Protesters will not rest until the Iranian people and the
nation are free … Iran's risen and revolting cities are joining the protests,
one after the other. The cry for freedom is becoming louder, and the uprising
is expanding more and more every moment. There is no force more powerful than
the united force of young people."
France's
energy giant Total and carmakers Peugeot and Renault are reportedly
leaving
Iran.
Iran,
August 3, 2018
- From
this afternoon (Aug. 3, 2018 local time) the people of Tehran, Karaj and
Mashhad have once again poured into the streets to protest against the
religious despotism and the country’s economic crumbling due to the corruption
of the mullahs’ regime. Later, the cities of Ghahdarijan and Shahin Shahr in
Isfahan province, and Andimeshk in Khuzestan joined the protests.
