Iran's supreme leader is signaling that
his country is preparing to crack down on
the demonstrators who've been protesting across
the Islamic Republic over the last several days.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in particular,
targeted US President Donald Trump.
Trump in recent days has said that America is
willing to use force to protect
peaceful protesters in Iran,
should the theocracy there try to kill them.
Hamadan. Sakhteman. Mutalib. Keshvari.
Keshvari. To see how.
All this comes after
demonstrations overnight that were sparked
in part by a call from exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi.
That call saw thousands enter the streets
in Tehran and elsewhere across the country.
Now, Iranian state television
today is calling those people terrorists.
They're showing footage of fires in the streets
and mosques and other buildings damaged.
But there is a lot of anger in Iran,
both over the economic situation
and against Iran's theocracy,
which has been in power since
the 1979 Islamic revolution.
