Statement by the Press Secretary on Iranย Protests

ย 

The Trump Administration is deeply concerned by reports that the Iranian regime has imprisoned thousands ofย โ€ŽIranian citizens in the past week for engaging in peaceful protests.ย  Further reports that the regime has tortured or killed some of these demonstrators while in detention are even more disturbing.ย  We will not remain silent as the Iranian dictatorship represses the basic rights of its citizens and will hold Iranโ€™s leaders accountable for any violations.ย  The protesters in Iran are expressing legitimate grievances, including demanding an end to their government’s oppression, corruption, and waste of national resources on military adventurism.ย  Iran’s regime claims to support democracy, but when its own people express their aspirations for better lives and an end to injustice, it once again shows its true brutal nature.ย ย โ€ŽThe United States calls for the immediate release of all political prisoners in Iran, including the victims of the most recent crackdown.

Project Syndicate

When Iran agreed in 2015 to halt its nuclear weapons program, ordinary Iranians expected rapid economic improvement with the lifting of strict international sanctions. More than two years later, most Iranians remain no better off. Today, that fact, and the sense of hopelessness it is inciting, is costing the government something money can’t buy.

Some call Trump’s Iran protest tweets striking turnabout from Obama era

Anti-regime street protests grow, demanding democracy and freedom

Fox Newsย  –ย  By Ben Evanskyย  – ย December 30, 2017

Estimates say that up to one million Iranians have been protesting across the country since Thursday in what one Iranian opposition group says has turned into a protest for regime change.

Those protesters are being buoyed by messages from the Trump administration, says the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI),ย a coalition of democratic Iranian groups and personalities.

In two tweets earlier Saturday, President Donald Trump offered up a message of hope to the protesters: โ€œThe entire world understands that the good people of Iran want change, and, other than the vast military power of the United States, that Iranโ€™s people are what their leaders fear the mostโ€ฆโ€

Trump added: โ€œOppressive regimes cannot endure forever, and the day will come when the Iranian people will face a choice. The World is watching!โ€

According to reports, the protests have brought some bloodshed, with at least two people being shot and killed by Iranian Revolutionary Guards who opened fire on protesters in the city of Dorud.

In the countryโ€™s capital city of Tehran, video provided to Fox News by the NCRI showed protesters fending off tear gas from the police. Other videos show them burning posters of Iranโ€™s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.

Chanted slogans included many calls for independence and freedom from an Islamic Republic. They also offered pointed commentary on Iranian involvement in foreign lands:ย โ€œLeave Syria, think about us,โ€ โ€œDeath to Hezbollah,โ€ and “Forget about Gaza and Lebanon: Iโ€™ll sacrifice my life for Iran,” protesters shouted, according to the NCRI.

In Arak on Saturday, protesters occupied the governorโ€™s office. Arak has a population of over half a million and houses a heavy water reactor that was used by its nuclear program.

While there is no word of the administration having talks with opposition parties, Ali Safavi, an official in the Washington office of the NCRI, told Fox News that messages of support from the Trump administration are a big change from how the Obama administration handled the 2009 popular uprising.

Safavi said: โ€œWhen millions of Iranians poured onto the streets in 2009, the Obama administration reached out to the Supreme Leader Khamenei, enabling him and his president to suppress the uprising. President Trumpโ€™s expression of support for the Iranian people and his condemnation of the arrests of the protesters send an encouraging signal to all those who want to see Iran liberated from the yoke of the medievalist mullahs.โ€

According a translation given to Fox News by the NCRI, Iranian media reported that Iranian Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani was quoted as asking people โ€œto not participate in such unlawful gatherings because they cause trouble for themselves and other citizens.โ€

Another news agency affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps was quoted as saying the chants shouted by the protesters were โ€œvery similar to the ones chanted during the 2009 sedition.โ€

Maryam Rajavi, the head of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, released a statement in which she saluted the bravery of the protesters. She said, in part, โ€œThe ongoing protests in different cities against the regime reveal the explosive state of Iranian society and the peopleโ€™s desire for regime change.โ€

Rajaviโ€™s statement said Iranianโ€™s have loudly rejected the mullahโ€™s regime: โ€œThe Iranian people demand the overthrow of the ruling religious dictatorship. It is their right to topple this repressive regime. And I emphasize: regime change in Iran is within reach.โ€

Iranians defy regime as wave of protest spreads
Hannah Lucinda Smith, Istanbulย ย  –ย  January 1, 2018

Older people came out to protest at the plundering of their pensions. Youths vented fury at the high unemployment rate. Others demanded to know why their government was spending billions of pounds each year fighting in Syria while they struggled to pay the rent.

This cauldron of simmering resentment boiled over into a fourth day of mass protests against the regime in Iran yesterday, in more than 40 cities and towns. They were apparently undeterred by the threat of an โ€œiron fistโ€ issued earlier in the day by the head of the Revolutionary Guard, charged with protecting Iranโ€™s Islamic theocracy.

Last night, President Rouhani said that Iranians had the right to protest and criticise the authorities but warned: โ€œThe government will show no tolerance forย those who damage public properties, violate public order and create unrest in the society.โ€

He has called an emergency meeting with his parliamentary officials in an effort to quell the largest challenge to the regime since 2009. Financial woes, which are driving the opposition, will top the agenda when they meet today.

โ€œThe main focus will be on economic issues and the sides will make efforts to take effective measures to resolve economic and livelihood issues,โ€ Mohammad Reza Pourebrahimi, secretary of Iranโ€™s co-ordinating council of parliament commissions, said.

Such steps may be too little, too late, however. Spiralling inflation has sent the cost of basic commodities soaring, with the price of eggs, for example, doubling in the past week. The rocketing cost of renting a home has locked even the middle classes out of the market.

One young Iranian professional said that she had been priced out of uptown Tehran by โ€œdisgustingโ€ price rises. โ€œPeople pay about ยฃ18,500 as a deposit, with rent from ยฃ925 to ยฃ4,500 a month. Midtown to downtown rent is about ยฃ200 a month for 50 to 80 sq m โ€” but you just donโ€™t want to live there, you will die of the pollution.โ€

Map showing towns & cities of Iran

This is not the first time that Iranians have defied a ban to protest against the regime, but now they appear to have support from a broader spectrum of the population than in 2009, when tens of thousands of people joined rallies in central Tehran to voice their dismay at the victory of the hardliner Mahmoud Ahmedinejad in the presidential elections. However, the โ€œgreen revolutionโ€ withered after a crackdown by the security forces in which more than 100 people were killed and 10,000 arrested. This time there is no talk of support for a moderate alternative within the framework of the system: the protesters are chanting their opposition against the regime, including Ayatollah Khamenei, the supreme leader.

Mr Rouhani is battling behind the scenes to navigate a way out of the increasing problems but Iranโ€™s state media is falling back on the narratives of foreign meddling and nefarious forces to explain away the protests. The state-sponsored newspaperย Kayhanย claimed yesterday that Israel was behind the tide of protest that has spread across the country since Thursday and state television pinned the blame on โ€œcounter-revolution groups and foreign mediaโ€. The report added: โ€œThey are continuing their organised efforts to misuse the peopleโ€™s economic and livelihood problems and their legitimate demands to provide an opportunity for unlawful gatherings and chaos.โ€

The authorities blocked public access to Instagram and the secure messaging app Telegram as the protests continued yesterday, justifying it as an attempt to โ€œrestore peaceโ€ โ€” but such tactics may no longer be enough to contain a disparate protest movement that is rapidly morphing into an uprising.

โ€œEveryone is worried because there is almost no leadership, but personally I think it is a good thing. It makes it harder to contain,โ€ Kaveh Nematipour, who fled Iran after taking part in the protests in 2009, said. โ€œPeople have lost faith in reforms. That can be very dangerous.โ€

In a further embarrassment for the countryโ€™s rulers, the protests have reached Tehran โ€” coinciding with an annual parade organised by the authorities to mark the end of the โ€œseditionโ€ of the green revolution.

โ€œIranians are pissed off with their regime and they will use literally any opportunity to profess that unhappiness in public,โ€ Mr Nematipour said. โ€œThe pace at which things have escalated is breathtaking. Last time they gave things about five or six days before they started to cause casualties.โ€

Such sentiments will confound analysts who warned that President Trumpโ€™s renewed hard line on Iran, after the warming of relations during the Obama years, would serve only to galvanise the regime. Mr Trump has repeatedly pledged to tear up the deal brokered by his predecessor, which would have lifted US economic sanctions on Iran in return for it halting its development of nuclear weapons.

Government offices and shops in Tehran have been torched

The blockade stops American companies conducting almost any business in Iran and similar sanctions have been imposed by the EU. The measures have hurt Iranโ€™s economy and the pockets of its people โ€” but their anger now appears to be directed towards their regime rather than the West.

โ€œWhile the overwhelming majority of the people of Iran are suffering from poverty, inflation and unemployment, most of the countryโ€™s wealth and revenues is spent on military and security apparatuses and military and regional interventions, or is being looted by the regime leaders or goes into their bank accounts,โ€ said Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the Paris-based opposition movement the National Resistance Council of Iran.

IRANโ€™S PROTESTS

On Friday, December 29,ย  2017, thousands of protesters took to the streets in 12 cities across Iran, including in Qom, to demonstrate against the clerical regime and the rising cost of living.

Fridayโ€™s protests followed similar demonstrations in various Iranian cities a day earlier, including Iranโ€™s second most populous city Mashhad, where thousands of Iranians took to the street and chanted slogans against the clerical regime.

According to reports, repressive state security forces attacked protesters in Mashhad and arrested more than 100 protesters.

Slogans during t No to the Islamic Republicโ€, โ€œDeath to the Dictatorโ€, โ€œDeath to Rouhaniโ€ and โ€œSeyed Ali shame on you, give up the ruleโ€.

The popular anti-regime protests also protested the regimeโ€™s policies in support of terrorism and destabilising activities in the region. The chants included โ€œLeave Syria, think about usโ€, โ€œNot Gaza, not Lebanon, my life for Iranโ€ and โ€œDeath to Hezbollahโ€.

Participants also encouraged fellow countrymen to join the protests by chanting โ€œdonโ€™t be scared, we are all togetherโ€, โ€œGuns, Tanks, Explosives; the mullahs must get lostโ€ and โ€œFree Political Prisonersโ€.

The protests continued late into Friday night in many Iranian cities with repressive security forces attacking protesters, according to the Iranian opposition, the PMOIโ€™s network inside Iran.

In city of Shiraz (southern Iran) protesters shouted at the State Security Forces and told them โ€œGo and arrest the thievesโ€ a reference to widespread corruptions in the country.

On Friday, speaking in so-called Friday payers, the representative of Supreme Leader in Mashhad, Alamolhoda, said a few people had taken advantage of yesterdayโ€™s protests against rising prices to raise slogans against Iranโ€™s involvement in regional conflicts.

โ€œSome people had come to express their demands, but suddenly, in a crowd of hundreds, a small group that did not exceed 50, shouted deviant and horrendous slogans such as โ€˜Let go of Palestineโ€™, โ€˜Not Gaza, not Lebanon, Iโ€™d give my life for Iranโ€™โ€ ,Alamolhoda said.

NCRI President-elect, Maryam Rajavi, praised the brave protesters who have risen up with chants of โ€œdeath or freedomโ€ and โ€œdeath to the dictatorโ€ to protest against high prices, poverty and corruption in the country.

โ€œThe lionโ€™s share of the Iranโ€™s wealth and revenues is spent on military and security apparatus, war and intervention in the region, or is plundered by the regimeโ€™s leaders and deposited in their childrenโ€™s accountsโ€, she added describing the ongoing protests as the Iranian peopleโ€™s great uprising to overthrow the mullahsโ€™ oppressive and corrupt dictatorship.

โ€œUprisings of Kermanshah and Mashhad and other cities are death knell for the corrupt dictatorship of mullahs, and the rise of democracy, justice and popular sovereigntyโ€, she said.

In a statement on Thursday, 28 December 2017, the US Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) expressed solidarity with Iranians speaking out against the regime.

โ€œEven after the billions in sanctions relief they secured through the nuclear deal, the ayatollahs still canโ€™t provide for the basic needs of their own people-perhaps because theyโ€™ve funneled so much of that money into their campaign of regional aggression in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen. The protests in Mashhad show that a regime driven by such a hateful ideology cannot maintain broad popular support forever, and we should support the Iranian people who are willing to risk their lives to speak out against itโ€, the senator said in his statement.
