Rouhani says Iranians have right to protest, slams Trump’s comments
RT : 31 Dec, 2017
Iranians are free to protest and criticize Iran's government,
President Hassan Rouhani has said, adding, that the protests should not
descend into violence. He also blasted President Donald Trump’s comments
on the protests.
"People are absolutely free to criticise the government,”
the Iranian president said Sunday, commenting on the ongoing mass
protests in Iran for the first time. The protests should be held in a
way that would lead to the improvement of the situation in the Islamic
Republic and not the other way round, he added.
"Criticism is different from violence and damaging public properties,”
Rouhani warned as he called on demonstrators to refrain from any
disruptive behaviour. He also said dealing with the current problems
that Iran is facing “would take time,” adding, the people and the government should help each other in overcoming the difficulties.
The
president then chided Trump over his comments concerning the situation
in Iran. The US leader earlier repeatedly accused the Islamic Republic
of “corruption” and “squandering of the nation’s wealth to fund terrorism abroad” in a series of Twitter posts.
The
US has no moral right to act as if it defended the rights of Iranians
because Washington itself calls them terrorists, he said. “Those, who called Iranians terrorists, have no business sympathizing with our nation,” he added, referring to Trump’s comments.
“This
man in America who is sympathizing today with our people has forgotten
that he called the Iranian nation terrorists a few months ago,” the president said at a government meeting, as cited by the official IRNA news agency. “This man who is against the Iranian nation to his core has no right to sympathize with Iranians," Rouhani said further, calling Trump an “ill-wisher” and that Iranians do not need his sympathy.
Trump recently went on a Twitter spree, demonizing Iran and calling on its leadership to “respect the people’s rights." He also warned that “oppressive regimes” do not “endure forever,” and that the US “is watching very closely for human rights violations!”
The US president’s comments provoked an angry reaction in Tehran,
with the Islamic Republic’s foreign ministry immediately slamming
Trump’s remarks as an “opportunist and hypocritical” attempt to
meddle in Iran’s internal affairs. Later, Iranian lawmakers accused
Washington of hypocrisy by saying that it neither cares nor understand
the Iranian demands.
“How can it [the US government] now claim to be defending the demands of the Iranian people?”
Hossein Naqavi Hosseini, spokesman of the Iranian Parliament’s National
Security and Foreign Policy Commission questioned, speaking to the
Tasnim news agency. He said Washington has absolutely no right to pose
as an advocate of the Iranian people’s interests, as America is largely
to blame for their economic hardships because of the sanctions the US
has imposed against the Islamic Republic.
Amir Abdollahian, a
senior adviser to the Iranian parliament’s speaker on international
affairs, also turned to Twitter, calling on Trump not to get too “excited” over the real nature of the rallies that have swept through the Islamic Republic over recent days. “Mr.
Trump don't get excited. People's economic demands are different to
rioters. Iranians prefer national security & religious democracy as
practiced by [the] Islamic system over WH's terrorist & deceptive
policies,” he said in a Twitter post.
Iran has been gripped in a wave of mass demonstrations that started
Thursday as people took to the streets to first protest against soaring
food prices and unemployment. The rallies then turned into the biggest
anti-government movement in eight years, as the crowds then aimed their
anger at the Iranian government and the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei.
The anti-government protests were countered Saturday by
massive pro-government demonstrations. Rallies in support of the
government were held in some 1,200 cities and towns across Iran,
including the capital, Tehran and the second most populous city,
Mashhad.
Some
protests turned violent. Videos posted on social media showed
protesters jostling with riot police, throwing stones, burning fires,
and even hauling down a billboard of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Two people
taking part in an unauthorized protest were killed in the city of Doroud
(Dorud), 325 kilometers southwest of Tehran. On Sunday, Iran’s interior
minister warned that “violence, fear and terror” will be dealt with firmly following the third consecutive night of unrest.

# Be careful when you say people have the right to protest because the US
will send in hired mercenaries and terrorists from other parts of the
Middle East to pose as Iranians and they are the ones who are
'protesting' against the government.
The US has been orchestrating overthrows of governments around the world
for decades and they' and 'Israel' are still up to their old tricks...
divide and conquer.
# Maybe Donald should read history and how the CIA took democracy away
from Iran because Mossedegh wouldn't give Iran's oil away to the US, the
CIA did the same in the DRC eliminating Patrice Lumumba. America
doesn't really care about democracy it cares about access to resources
and will deal with or eliminate any Gov't to realize that interest and
market those decisions to the American people by using freedom and
democracy to seal the deal.
# When the richest nation leaves 3.5 million children living without housing then...
Trump ... Big protests in Iran. The people are finally getting wise as
to how their money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on
terrorism. Looks like they will not take it any longer. The USA is
watching very closely for human rights violations!
It is an audacity.
# Disgusting usa_bigots need to focus on deluding its own citizens, rather than attacking foreigners.
# the only terror we have seen has been orchestrated by the west as a
hegelian dialectic to justify 7 wars and strip our civil liberties to
the bone and bring about the technocratic police state and militarize
our law enforcement.
on another note the only safe places in the middle eat for christians has been iran, lebanon and syria (until isis got there).
# No mention of the large weekly protests held for the last 5 weeks in Israel.
Protesting against Netanyahu who demonstrating Israelis call "The Crime Minister".
AND, absolute silence in the Western media. It was the same a couple of
years ago when huge Israeli demonstrations were held protesting about
the rising cost of living.
# The world is watching you Trump. You're the leader of the country that's #1 financier of terrorism.
# Watch how the fake news media is gloating over this. Their goal? Regime change, all for the benefit of Israel.
# With those words Rouhani has dealt a blow to the US not-so-covert
agenda. As from tomorrow the 'protests' will peter out. He has responded
like a true leader.
# Trump has decayed to the level of a clown, under the daily barrage of
media, Hillary thugs, CIA thugs, Soros & fellow thugs, Jeff Bezos
and so on. He is drowning, trying desperately to appease the angry
neocon-liberal establishment doing whatever they command him to do.

Iran slams ‘grotesque’ meddling and calls for regime change by US through social media
RT : 4 Jan, 2018
Iran’s Ambassador to the UN Gholamali Khoshroo has accused the US of “grotesque” interference in his country’s affairs, and of encouraging regime change in the Islamic Republic. He also accused Trump of inciting “disruptive acts.”
As a wave of protests against poor worsening standards and unemployment gripped Iran, Washington was quick to throw its support behind the demonstrators. US President Donald Trump praised the riots “against the brutal and corrupt Iranian regime,” and said that the US was closely watching the situation.
US Envoy Nikki Haley even vowed to call for an “urgent” UN Security Council (UNSC) meeting on Monday to discuss the situation in Iran. No such meeting has been yet scheduled.
Tehran has continued to fire back at the US stance. Khoshroo condemned the American administration’s “acts of intervention in a grotesque way in Iran's internal affairs.” The ambassador said that Washington had meddled in Iranian domestic affairs under the pretext of support for the rallies, “which in several instances were hijacked by infiltrators to include acts of senseless homicide.”
“The current US administration has crossed every limit in flouting rules and principles of international law governing the civilized conduct of international relations,” Khoshroo said in a letter to the UN, cited by Tasnim news agency on Thursday.
Online comments by Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence’s have also triggered Iran’s concern. The envoy lashed back against their “numerous absurd tweets,” which provoked the protesters “to engage in disruptive acts” and even encouraged them “to change their government, admitting that the US is engaged in interfering with the internal affairs of Iran through Facebook and Twitter.”
Trump’s harsh statements targeting Tehran were previously criticized by Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman, who suggested that the US leader should “address his country's domestic affairs” instead of “wasting his time on posting useless and insulting tweets” about others.
On Wednesday, French President Emmanuel Macron said that hostile statements on the ongoing protests in Iran by the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia could lead to a war. He also urged all parties to maintain balance in relations with the Islamic Republic, while seeking ways to “increase international pressure” on it.
Russia also warned the US against attempts to meddle in Iran’s domestic affairs, with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov saying that Washington had used the situation to hamper the nuclear agreement with Tehran. Earlier this week, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova also reminded the US about its own experience in “putting down protests,” including mass arrests and crackdown against the Occupy Wall Street movement and operations against Fergusson protesters.
Speaking to RT, some Iranians pointed to the unfair treatment of their country. Despite some praising American support, others said that demonstrations on the same issues could occur anywhere.
“In any country, people can protest against high prices. But whenever such demonstrations happen in our country, opponents of the establishment come out and support them,” a woman told RT. Another local resident said that authorities’ opponents use the riots “for their own purposes” each time demonstrations take place.
Despite the fact that most of Iran's economic problems “are domestically generated,” Washington is also culpable for these troubles as it violated its own international obligations, UK's former ambassador to Iran, Sir Richard Dalton, believes.
“Another reason why investment and thus new jobs have been slow in coming is that the international flows have not been forthcoming and that is because, contrary to their obligations under the nuclear agreement, Western countries, notably the United States, have not taken sufficient steps to facilitate normal financial flows,” Dalton told RT.

# And Americans are crying about Russia's meddling?
# So, when will Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. announce their suspension/closing of the accounts of Trump, Pence, and other parties in the US administration who are making themselves guilty of meddling in another country's affairs?
# US rulers merely can't live without regime changes and chaos around the world. High time for them to show how to do it properly and to wreak havoc and change regime in their beloved America.
# The US is 'outraged' claiming 'meddling in US elections' because Putin stated 'Trump is a leader in the presidential race' The US incites Iranians to challenge their government and cheers on the protesters, while calling for MORE sanctions on Iran, to cause more unrest - and this is not meddling in another countries affairs? What does the US think it is!
# Funny this is how Libya and Syria started...the want Tehran to look like Tripoli and Aleppo..the rest of the world must be a broken war zone but they can continue to live in safety and privilege..too bad Americans are not allowed to protest.
# They do try sometimes, but now they risk getting a criminal record and being stigmatized forever - like the 400 arrested for protesting against the Keystone pipeline outside the whitehouse.
# And the US is the same country that falsely accuse other nations of meddling in their sham elections where the globalists have pre-determined who the next US puppet president will be.
# Chickenhawk Pence spent taxpayer money going to a football game simply to make a scene by walking out when the players protested. Now he supports a hand full of vandals in Iran in deference to his Saudi masters.
# Meddling in Iran’s affairs while staying quiet on the protesters in Israel.. typical American hypocrisy.
