Iranians entered the fourth day of protests on Wednesday after the rial hit a record low of 90,000 rials to one U.S. dollar on Sunday.
The notorious “Death to America” chants of the Iranian regime and its supporters have given way to widespread “Death to Khamenei” chants.
All this shows yet again that appeasement of jihadists never works. Now that this global jihad terrorist regime is being dealt a tough blow by Trump’s sanctions, its people are rising up against Khamenei and the other mullahs, as they should. They recognize that their leadership has been aiding its jihadi proxies on the backs of the Iranian people:
Over 40 percent of Iran’s population is unemployed. As Iranians struggle to put food on the table, Iran’s regime continues to spend billions of dollars in financial aid on Palestinian terror groups Hamas, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi rebels in Yemen, Shiite militias in Iraq, and in a civilian casualties-laden civil war in Syria where they are tightening the reigns in their support for support for President Bashar al-Assad.
During the Obama era, the Iranian regime was in its glory days. Not only did Obama appease the mullahs by means of the Iranian nuclear deal, but he gave tens of billions of dollars to Iran through back-room deals.
“Death to Khamenei’ Protests Enter Fourth Day in Iran,” by Adelle Nazarian, Breitbart, June 28, 2018:
Iranians entered the fourth day of protests on Wednesday after the rial hit a record low of 90,000 rials to one U.S. dollar on Sunday.
Chants calling for the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reportedly filled Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, the center of commerce in the bustling city, throughout the week.
Khamenei has battled cancer and — despite several health scares, including rumors that he had passed — the 78-year-old Shi’ite leader appears to be in relatively good condition and stable health.
The bazaar’s shopkeepers shut down their stores out of fear, according to local reports. An Iranian man named Kaveh told Breitbart News that some of his friends who sell gold in the Grand Bazaar not only closed their shops, but also removed the gold from their stores out of fear of being looted.
On Wednesday, Radio Farda reported that Iran’s Secretary-general of the Grand Bazaar’s trade association told reporters that “a large part of the bazaar is almost open.”
The widespread protests are a response to the rial sinking to a record low. The government has largely disregarded this. The Jerusalem Post reported that Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif accused foreign media, including Reuters, of spreading “false” stories about the Iranian economy after the protesters honed in on Iran’s deep involvement in Syria.
