Thankfully President Trump sees this is the time to squeeze the mad Mullahs and giving iran the chance of achieving a democracy. What a great thing if Iran became a peaceful country not fermenting terror in the ME!!! Hussein Obummer of course would have tried to get another 150 billion dollars to these mad Mullahs!!! Spot the difference.

Of course the EU globalists are being forced to tow the line regarding sanctions by President Trump. All this will further infuriate the left and poor rooitwit!!!



IRANIAN protestors have vented their fury at their own leaders amid escalating inflation, high unemployment, and the plummeting rial, turning their blame away from US President Donald Trump as Washington’s sanctions begin to bite.

Demonstrators took to the streets of Tehran last week to express their anger at the Iranian administration, criticising the government over “widespread corruption, crippling inflation, and injustice”.

Murad, an electrician from Tehran, told the Daily Telegraph: “Iran is trying to say Trump is behind all our miseries, but it is only the House of Khamenei that is to blame.

People look at some of the majestic houses and villas and the lifestyle of a minority at the top and wonder how on earth they have managed to have this when the majority are so poor.”

He stated defiantly that Iranians are no longer “blaming the president of a foreign country”, but are instead directing their anger at their own administration.

Pointing to the inequality within the Middle Eastern nation, he added: “Iran is a very rich country but our government seems to be more concerned about the wellbeing of non-Iranian people in the Arab world.”  Oaks very much like the demonrtas favouing illegals before American Citizens!!!

Murad’s concerns were echoed by Pouria Pakan, a director of a children’s clothing factory, who told NBC: “I have never seen the economy so bad, and people I speak to have been around, working for the last 30 years or more, say this is the worst they have ever seen it.

It’s very strange. You see things go up in price by 30 percent, 40 percent, 50 percent overnight.”

He noted that Iran’s economic woes likely have little to do with renewed US sanctions, noting that they have “only just started”.

He added: “We have been in the situation for a while now.”

Following renewed demonstrations against the Iranian government, President Hassan Rouhani promised to stabilise the economy and ensure basic goods are available in the televised speech last week.

Yet the Iranian leader took direct aim at President Trump, blaming him for Iran’s woes and refusing calls to negotiate a new deal.

He said: “If somebody puts a knife in its opponent or enemy's arm and says we want to negotiate, the answer is that they must first pull out the knife and then come to the negotiation table.”

He also accused the US of waging a “psychological war” on the Iranian people, and stated the sanctions were “targeting Iranian children and people”.

President Rouhani’s criticism of the US administration were also echoed by Iran’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif.

Writing on Twitter, he said: “Trump has an odd way of showing ‘such respect’ for Iranians: From labelling them a ’terrorist nation’, and banning them from visiting the US, to petty insults on the name of the Persian Gulf.

“But best of all, ‘helping them’ by depriving them of the economic dividend from the Iran nuclear deal.”

President Trump’s first wave of sanctions came into force last week, and targeted the importation of US dollars, gold, and the automotive and aviation industries.

The US leader is set to impose a second wave of sanctions in November on Iran’s energy and petrochemical industries, which are seen as lifelines for the Middle Eastern nation’s economy

One hopes oaks that the mad mullahs will soon be assigned to the dustbin of history. Certainly the people of Iran will hold them in contempt forevermore!

Have to agree with you on this one Jihadi Beeno. Toppling the mad mullahs though does not guarantee any peace, just look at yourself as an example, no matter how your circumstances change you'll remain a lunatic.
