It is hard to believe the Islamic regime’s denial that police opened fire on protesters, since the regime is known to be repressive and dishonest. Also, “Deputy Interior Minister Hossein Zolfaghari saying 11 people were hurt when someone opened fire.” Who, if not someone connected to the regime?
“Iranian Protesters Clash With Police for Second Night,” Associated Press, July 2, 2018:
Iranian state media say protesters have clashed with police over water scarcity in the southwest for a second night.
IRNA says protesters threw stones and debris at police and set a car on fire in a protest that began late Sunday in the city of Abadan.
The report says police blocked roads near the protest and that the situation is “under control.”
Similar clashes over water scarcity broke out in the nearby city of Khorramshahr late Saturday. Authorities say one protester and 10 police were injured, and videos posted online showed gunfire ringing out….
“Iran denies shooting protesters,” by Elad Benari, Arutz Sheva, July 2, 2018:
Iran on Sunday denied reports that security forces had shot and killed at least four protesters during a demonstration city of Khorramshahr late Saturday, AFP reported.
Several people were injured in the southwestern Iranian city during a demonstration against water pollution, according to Iranian state media.
The protesters set fire to rubbish bins and damaged public property, prompting police to fire tear gas to disperse them, state-run IRNA news agency said Sunday.
Iran’s Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli insisted that just one person was injured in a “confrontation involving shots”, denying reports carried by Saudi media that Iranian security forces had shot and killed protesters.
“The statements saying numerous people were killed are false,” he said during a press conference, according to AFP.
Officials gave different accounts of those injured during the protest, with Deputy Interior Minister Hossein Zolfaghari saying 11 people were hurt when someone opened fire….

I’m pretty sure this protest will fizzle out like the other ones.

Not so sure, Iranians have been suffering and been enslaved by islamic law for 40 years and that can give you the courage to fight, to remove the chains of this cruel islamic theocracy. “Better to die standing than live on your knees”.

It again should be reiterated and remembered that the actual word “Republic” has on origin the Latin meaning “Of the people” With the mullahs ayatollahs in so much power and even influencing the parliament of this Islamic regime is tyranny is hardly a real republic .Furthermore the ruthless gang of thugs who are the stooges of those Muslim clerics, called the “Revolutionary Guards,” those Islamic State “police” come down hard on the human rights and freedoms of the Iranian people. Therefore the people do have the right to overthrow a tyranny. This reality had even been expressed and described by men of great intelligence .For example the philosopher .John Locke. This is wisdom that mullahs and other villains in power in that Islamic tyranny don’t want the Iranian people to know about or understand

Mr Spencer, it appears that there is a double standard on your part. when Palestinians protested against illegal occupation of their land and fascist evil Zionists shelled them you applauded the actions. Now that Iranian security agents are countering the idiot plotters against Islamic Republic of Iran you are not happy. It means the idiot plotters against Islamic Republic of Iran are really working for treacherous evil United States and fascist evil Zionist state of Israel. The plots will fail like before and the resources expended by the two most wicked evil entities, apartheid evil United States and fascist evil Zionist state of Israel, will be a wastage. wicked fools!!

There is no “double standard”. Robert Spencer stands for freedom, and the defense of freedom. There is no contradiction here.
And note Ibrahim itace muhammed’s typically Islamic lack of logic–that since some Iranians have gotten tired of being oppressed by the Mullahs, that they must all somehow be Americans and Israelis. Really, this exposes the illogical and ugly Muslim mindset.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Liar Gravenimage, these idiots are being sponsored by apartheid evil United States and fascist evil Zionist state of Israel after realizing that they cannot topple Islamic Revolutionary leaders and install stooges who will steal Iranian wealths and stash in the evil United States. It is just waste of resources, Islamic Revolution will continue and Iran will thrive. Fools!!

Iran is not thriving under the stagnant oppression of Islam. Far from it:

IBRaHAM – Hamas is a terrorist group and the Palestinians are actually Jordanians who moved in during the Jordan occupancy, they are there illegally!!!!!
Hamas, like the your sick god allah, commands that muslims must murder all the Jewish people. Israel will defend itself against this murderous islamic terror group. Remember they have God on their side Hamas only has Satan. Your iq is showing again or is it your black heart that is showing. Probably both!!!
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Susan B, you lied. Palestinian ancestors had been there before Abraham the grandfather of Israel (Jacob). Fascist evil Zionists are carrying out mass killings of Palestinians as ethnic cleansing to erase them in the same way mithraist wickëd white christians erased the original inhabitants of Americas and settled there, all pursuant to Samuel 15:3 inspired by your Satan god in yahweh and his wife Ashera hero gods of evils.

What claptrap. The Muslim population is *growing* in the “Palestinian” territories.
Ibrahim itace muhammed just doesn’t want Israelis to be able to defend against Jihad.

Iran: Protests grow, regime charged with opening fire on protesters, denies doing so

Neither is a surprise, I’m afraid.

We’ve seen this start before in the Middle East. In Iraq & Afghanistan. And During the Arab Spring. First Syria, then Libya & now Iran. In every case the US & Israel had a hand in it. The minute tensions flared. The dynamic duo was ready to pounce on their victims. Agitating until it erupted into full-blown wars. The purpose being a regime change to essentially a US-Israeli puppet government. This better not be the case again. Because the people of America, Britain, Australia & Europe have really, really had enough of this. No more wars for Israel. The very nuclear armed state that refuses to sign the NPT. Whilst Iran actually has. There’s no justification for this. Israel not be protected whilst it launches proxy wars on it’s neighbours through the US government. Get the hell out of the middle east America et al. Don’t even think about it.

First of all the globalist are no longer in charge, we have Trump. He has no hand in trying to throw over Iran, it is the people of Iranian that have enough of this evil islamic theocracy. Iranians have had the joy of living under islamic law for forty years and that is enough to cure anyone of the cancer of islam. The globalist like Carter, Clinton, Bush and Obama are no longer in power!!!! This is the first time in a long time that America actually has a President working for the American people not the globalist or islamic oil money.
Oh and Israel has every right to defend her citizens against islamic attacks. Every islamic theocracy is bent on destroying Israel because their unholy books command it. If we do not help a democratic nation like Israel which country will be next in the cross hairs of islam and the globalist. We waited to long to defend against the Nazis and we have waited too long to defend against the Nazis cult of islam and we also need to destroy the strangle hold the globalist have on the free world.

I see the vile kouldb is once again claiming that any resistance to the barbarism of Islam is engineered by Israel and the United States.
Really, who could *possibly* have a problem with Jihad and Shari’ah if they weren’t being manipulated by the Jooooooooos? sarc/off
