We had already informed you that street protests in Iran against the government and its price hikes have entered the second day and are spreading all over the country.
Even though protests also appeared in the capital, as the cleric Iranian government is well aware most international reporters are still stationed there, they were quick to arrest everyone who <a href="http://thegoldwater.com/news/14867-Video-Day-Two-Of-Iranian-Street-Protests">started chanting ‘Death to Rouhani’ in Tehran, hoping that the movement would quickly die out</a>.
But just as the Iranian mullahs were convinced everything would return to normal, the US White House put the spotlight back on them. First with a report by White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who stated that: "There are many reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with the regime’s corruption and its squandering of the nation’s wealth to fund terrorism abroad."
"The Iranian government should respect their people’s rights, including their right to express themselves."

And later on, as it became apparent the Iranian protests were continuing during the night, US President Donald Trump also gave his opinion on the Iran developments, tweeting: “Many reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with regime’s corruption & its squandering of the nation’s wealth to fund terrorism abroad. Iranian govt should respect their people’s rights, including right to express themselves. The world is watching!”

Whereas it already surprised yesterday to find people shouting against President Rouhani, today they took it one step further and addressed Ali Khamenei, the highest cleric of the country.
People in the city of Qom, where religious seminaries are, chanted "seyed Ali Khamenei” meaning, “shame on you; abandon your rule" and "leave the country alone."

Unlike a recent Pro-Radical Muslim President and repeatedly accused slient supporter. Whom stood by and the last time the Iranian people rose up …. It seems Trump is willing to take a stand to support those protesting this terrorist run government.
They'll lock them all up
