Mass demonstrations in Iran against Trump

tehran - Hundreds of thousands of Iranians on Friday include demonstrations in the Iranian capital Tehran against US President Trump. The spiritual leader of the country, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had earlier this week called on his compatriots to show that they are not afraid of the United States. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Friday that Iran never gives in to threats.

Trump had withdrawn threatening language towards the Islamic Republic, which this weekend celebrates its 38th anniversary. On February 11, 1979 plunged the Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi (1919-1980) US-backed monarchy in. Anti-American demonstrations since become a tradition that support is expressed on the conservative clergy and government.

Trump warned Iran after the country late last month had carried out a test with a missile. He is an opponent of the international agreements reached under his predecessor, Obama in 2015 with Iran over the nuclear ambitions of Iran. Trump has Iran along with six other predominantly Muslim countries put on a blacklist. People from those countries should not attend to the US. US courts have, however, suspended the travel ban.
