    Iran was relatively modern & secular before the Islamic Revolution. Sizeable portion of the population wants a return to the life they once knew.https://twitter.com/mdubowitz/status/946894416639348736 …

    Nuke deal advocates & opponents should unite in support of these protests. Iranians saying loudly & clearly they’ve had enough of this brutal & corrupt regime. Would be best outcome for them, for nonproliferation & for U.S. & regional security.

        It takes incredible courage to protest against the brutal Iranian regime. Neda Agha-Soltan was shot dead during 2009 protests. These women are warriors. http://m.sfgate.com/politics/article/Neda-an-international-martyr-3294784.php#photo-2442219 …pic.twitter.com/t7qEW12NIi

        For those in the West who back the Iranian govt and/or nuclear deal; you’re strengthening a regime that subjugates women, locks up journalists, tortures/kills dissidents & imposes the death penalty for ‘crimes’ such as homosexuality, blasphemy & adultery. #IranProtests

        Basij were responsible for killing Neda Agha-Soltan during 2009 protests. Iranian regime banned her family from holding a memorial & has tried to rewrite history to blame protesters for shooting her. #IranProtests http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iran/6553511/Angel-of-Freedom-Neda-Agha-Soltan-Oxford-scholarship-will-be-her-most-important-legacy.html …pic.twitter.com/MMIQUn3tLC

        Rita Panahi Retweeted John O. Brennan

        The CIA director under Obama, ladies and gentlemen. “Peaceful political reform” is a regime lie. Only the most delusional or dishonest would push this fantasy. #IranProtestshttps://twitter.com/johnbrennan/status/948311274139586560 …

        Rita Panahi added,

        John O. BrennanVerified account @JohnBrennan
        With wholesale condemnation of Iran and nuclear deal over past year, Trump Admin squandered opportunity to bolster reformists in Tehran and prospects for peaceful political reform in Iran. Bluster is neither a strategy nor a mechanism for exercise of U.S. power and influence.
