"The people of Iran are finally acting against the brutal and corrupt Iranian regime," Trump Tweeted this morning. "All of the money that President Obama so foolishly gave them went into terrorism and into their “pockets.” The people have little food, big inflation and no human rights. The U.S. is watching!"The people of Iran are finally acting against the brutal and corrupt Iranian regime.

The protests across Iran are gaining momentum. Tragically, 21 people are dead, most if not all of them were protesters.
These protests are different than the ones in 2009. Those were a mainly and urban middle class phenomenon while this latest round began in a rural conservative region of Iran. Obama looked the other way during the Green Revolution of 2009, as we now know, he was desperate to get any Iranian nuclear deal signed, no matter how bad it was for America.
