RT @USUN: “It takes great bravery for the Iranian people to use the power of their voice against their government, especially when that government has a long history of murdering its own people who dare to speak the truth… All freedom-loving people must stand with their cause." pic.twitter.com/nRL2z4CuP6

The protests, which are approaching a full week of activity and showing no signs of slowing down or being successfully quashed by the government, In 2009, protests in Iran were easily suppressed by the government because the international community failed to stand with the protesters, according to Haley. She implored the United Nations to not make the same mistake in 2018.
“One way or the other, we will have a meeting on what is happening in Iran with the protests and their fight for freedom,” she said.

The new protests are focused on economic hardships imposed on the people by a regime that is flush with cash yet determined to focus on fueling terrorism rather than helping the people.

Lieutenant-General Gadi Eizenkot’s remarks coincided with almost a week of Iranian street protests that initially focused on economic hardships but have turned overtly political — though he did not comment directly on that unrest.
