    Iranian protesters refuse to trample Israeli, US flags

    Student protesters in Tehran demonstrating against Iranian government seen avoiding stepping on giant Israeli and American flag



    Iranian protesters demonstrating against their country’s government were seen avoiding giant Israeli and American flags on the ground during their demonstration, so as to not trample them.
    Video from student protests in Tehran shows thousands of demonstrators carefully walking around the two giant flags, which had been put on the ground to encourage passersby to trample them in a sign of contempt.
    Nearly all of the students at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran, however, can be seen walking around the flags during protests sparked by Iran’s admission that its military shot down a Ukrainian passenger jet, killing 176 civilians shortly after takeoff in what the regime called a ‘terrible mistake’.
    In contrast, protesters in Tehran were seen tearing down posters honoring slain Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, who headed the Revolutionary Guards Corps' Quds Force.

    Thousands of protesters gathered Sunday across Iran to call for the removal of Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after Iran’s admission, hours after similar protests were held on Saturday.
    The protests over Iran’s downing of the airliner are just the latest in a series of anti-government demonstrations, which began last November, initially to protest fuel price hikes.

    Europe used to have empires. They were run by emperors.
    Then we had kingdoms. They were run by kings.
    Now we have countries...

    Staged for what purpose? The regime would prefer the opposite; the flags getting trampled.

    I hope Trump doesn't completely ruin the support that the Iranians have for the US.

    Looks to me like the Iranians are quite pleased with Trump.
    Funny thing about tyrannical governments, the people you govern notice.
    People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

    Probably not so much pleased with Trump as not anti-American; at least at this point.

    We could probably make them anti-American if our president plays the wrong cards but that may take a while.

    Let's hop the doesn't happen.
