Protests broke out at four universities in Tehran on Saturday after military admitted fatal blunder Angry crowds demanded the Ayatollah's resignation and full investigation into the disaster Regime forces cracked down hard on the demonstrators, firing tear gas into the crowds Iranian air defenses shot down civilian passenger plane carrying 176 people, most of them Iranian citizens The country was on high alert after targeting US forces with ballistic missiles in bloodless strike Iranians have gathered in the streets of Tehran to demand the resignation of Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei after the regime admitted it had mistakenly shot down a civilian passenger plane. Angry crowds gathered on Saturday night in at least four locations in Tehran, chanting 'death to liars' and calling for the country's supreme leader to step down over the tragic military blunder, video from the scene shows. What began as mournful vigils for Iranian lives lost on the flight soon turned to outrage and protest against the regime, and riot police quickly cracked down, firing tear gas into the crowd. 'Death to the Islamic Republic' protesters chanted, as the regime's security forces allegedly used ambulances to sneak heavily armed paramilitary police into the middle of crowds to disperse the demonstration. Ukrainian Airlines Flight 752 was carrying 176 people, at least 130 of them Iranian citizens, when it was shot down by hapless Iranian Revolutionary Guard air defense forces shortly after taking off from Tehran on January 8.

Iran for days claimed that a technical failure caused the crash, before admitting on Saturday that its own surface-to-air missiles brought the plane down. Iran was on high alert at the time, hours after launching ballistic missiles at U.S. forces in Iraq in a strike that caused no casualties. That missile strike was in retaliation for a U.S. operation that killed powerful Iranian General Qassem Soleimani On Saturday afternoon, candlelight vigils at universities in Tehran for the victims of Flight 752 began to turn to protests against the regime. Large protests were reported at the universities of Tehran, Sharif Industrial, Amir Kabir, and Allameh. At Amirkabir University, protesters chanted 'Down with the dictator' and 'shame on IRGC [Revolutionary Guard], let the country go.' At Sharif University, crowds of outraged Iranians chanted 'commander in chief, resign!' The Ayatollah is Iran's commander in chief. 'Our enemy is right here; They lie when they say it's the US' protesters were heard chanting in one video. 'I now believe the word of the Great Satan,' one protester wrote in Persian on Twitter, apparently referring to the U.S. intelligence reports that blamed Iran for shooting the plane down, which the regime furiously denied at first. |

The crowd also condemned the Islamic Republic's paramilitary internal security force, chanting 'Death to Basij.' As night fell, riot police attempted to break up the protests with tear gas. Cops armed with shields and batons tried to disperse the crowds, and police fired water canons into the crowds of protesters. Anti-regime factions said that the protests reflected the frustrations of Iranian citizens with the government corruption and oppression. 'The protest by thousands of Iranians in Tehran burst the propaganda balloon of the regime regarding Qassem Soleimani's elimination,' said Shahin Gobadi, spokesman of the anti-regime group People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran, in a statement to DailyMail.com. Gobadi said that the protests 'showed the true sentiments of the Iranians and once again clearly proved that Iran is a powder keg and the Iranian people will not stop until the regime change.'

Death to the Islamic Republic. Satan really got fvcked up this one. Thank God Satan has lost Iran. Iran will steer a new pathway of hatred and tyranny. What a dramatic twist of events to Co fuse the principalities that held Iran bound to become vile, hateful and disastrous. Now the very pillars of that lifestyle is been attacked in this call for change. Oh the depth of the wisdom of God. God is King. He twisted Saudi in an unexpected way and remove hatred and insanity from the mind of Saudi, now we have a christ-like Saudi who is now opening doors for Church in the nation. What a glorious God is. Its Iran's turn for a change of garment, spirit, heart and lifestyle. But He first attacked the thought system programmed to make the people think and act hatefully. Once a thought-institution is attacked, it means a new culture is about to emerge. Glorious God, I see your hand in the midst of the conflation and altercation doing your great redemptive and correctional work. God is truly King 3 Likes 1 Share |

Smartchoiice: Bros na wetin na. Iran is a wild animal historically and has passed through mad revolutions from as far back as before it changed its name. Its a region cirsed with a curse of perpetual instability. From one generation to the next they must go through these tussles. That's why Iraq and Iran can almost never have peace |
