The people of Iran continue to call for an end to the oppressive regime of the Mullahs and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.  Directly calling for the removal of Khamenei is a significant shift in the tone of the protests.  It is against Iranian law to confront or criticize Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
However, the protesting groups are not backing down.  As oppressive regime enforcers and state police confront the freedom groups; the rebels burn the police stations – it ends up being a smart tactic as the soldiers fear the backlash.
Almost nine years since the original “Green movement” reformist protests were crushed by the state, today the U.S. and Israel voice support for for the resurgence of the reformers.
U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted: “The great Iranian people have been repressed for many years. They are hungry for food & for freedom. Along with human rights, the wealth of Iran is being looted. TIME FOR CHANGE!”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the “brave Iranians” taking to streets to protest a regime that “wastes tens of billions of dollars spreading hate”.  “I wish the Iranian people success in their noble quest for freedom,” he said in a video posted on his Facebook page.
