1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,759
Iran's supreme leader
is signaling that

2
00:00:01,759 --> 00:00:04,000
his country is preparing
to crack down on

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,280
the demonstrators who've
been protesting across

4
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,200
the Islamic Republic over
the last several days.

5
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,560
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
in particular,

6
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,740
targeted US President
Donald Trump.

7
00:00:13,740 --> 00:00:16,920
Trump in recent days has
said that America is

8
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,479
willing to use force to protect

9
00:00:18,479 --> 00:00:20,319
peaceful protesters in Iran,

10
00:00:20,319 --> 00:00:23,679
should the theocracy
there try to kill them.

11
00:00:29,521 --> 00:00:35,880
Hamadan. Sakhteman.
Mutalib. Keshvari.

12
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:53,359
Keshvari. To see how.

13
00:00:53,601 --> 00:00:56,159
All this comes after

14
00:00:56,159 --> 00:00:58,080
demonstrations overnight
that were sparked

15
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,160
in part by a call from exiled
Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi.

16
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,680
That call saw thousands
enter the streets

17
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,120
in Tehran and elsewhere
across the country.

18
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,159
Now, Iranian state television

19
00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:11,160
today is calling those
people terrorists.

20
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,840
They're showing footage
of fires in the streets

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,920
and mosques and other
buildings damaged.

22
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,979
But there is a lot
of anger in Iran,

23
00:01:18,979 --> 00:01:21,040
both over the economic situation

24
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,979
and against Iran's theocracy,

25
00:01:22,979 --> 00:01:24,040
which has been in power since

26
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,400
the 1979 Islamic revolution.
