This is a good thing. Maybe there’s a hope that they will overthrow the Mullahtocracy!!

And oh yeah: United States...stay the hell out of it, otherwise the protests are sure to fail.

In 2009 there was some protests but they was quickly stopped. Will the situation will be different this time?

American Thinker posted a blog post about these protests. I wonder how long the western medias will ignore it?
Western media are ignoring a revolution in Iran

Default Price Protests Turn Political in Iran as Rallies Spread

Just a day after The Hill reported that Israel and the United States reached a cooperation agreement December 12 on Iran comes this story from Reuters -

DUBAI (Reuters) - Demonstrators chanted anti-government slogans in several cities across Iran on Friday, Iranian news agencies and social media reports said, as price protests turned into the largest wave of demonstrations since nationwide pro-reform unrest in 2009.

Police dispersed anti-government demonstrators in the western city of Kermanshah as protests spread to Tehran and several other cities a day after rallies in the northeast, the semi-official news agency Fars said.

So blatantly obvious what Don and Beb have planned for the middle east. How will Russia react is the crucial question. It truly has been a bountiful holday season for Israel like no other in quite some years. The perfectly timed Israeli orchestrated riots in Iran is merely a middle finger to the UN for their opposition to Israel in it's many resolutions.

Get our young American men ready as we are about to go to war again.

I’ve got nothing against Breitbart. If their story is legit, I’ll link ‘em. It’s not my first time.

And yeah...Al Jazeera is tops in Middle Eastern news.

They aren't just protesting corruption. They are protesting high prices. That's different.

Yes it is coincidence. It has been reported for years that there is a rift between the young people of Iran and the religious regime. This is not the first riot to break out nor will it be the last. Anyone who spent a few minutes reading the news in the past few years knows that the Iranian people are more liberal and want more freedoms that the government gives them. There were a number of demonstrations during the Obama years.

However, what is different is that the Iranian government may now say that the riots are a US and Israeli conspiracy when they clearly are not.

It would be tragic if the Israeli tail wagged the American dog, as it is doing now, to incite a war. In time, the Ayatollahs will fall and be replaced by a more liberal government.

Conservatives should not be so obedient to anti-Iranian formenters without examining their motivations.

Wow. You folks have your talking points down pat. That sounds just the excuse Obama used not to help the Iranian Green Movement in 2009 leaving thousands to the tender mercies of the Iranian secret service.
