    Default Iran is CLOSED for business: PROTESTS break out as economy plummets

    Shouldn't Moony be over there helping out his mullah mates and defending the revolution?

    EXCLUSIVE: THOUSANDS of Iranians have closed their shops and market stalls and stepped onto the streets in a series of tense protests against skyrocketing prices as inflation figures soar amid damaging US sanctions.

    Shop keepers, stall vendors, farmers and even truck drivers are demonstrating today in the Amir-Kabir industrial complex of Isfahan, central Iran, protesting against high prices as the value of Tehran’s currency, the rial, plummets. Scores of demonstrators can be seen gathering in public squares and at the side of main roads, chanting “death to high prices” and "No to Gaza, no to Lebanon, my life for Iran”.

    Dozens of store owners in the area have closed their shops and are on strike, after the rial’s value dropped by 120 percent in the last six months alone.
    Iran has also been hit by falling salaries set against the rising cost of living, while water shortages and power outages have also hit the embattled country.

    The Wall Street/donor/"job creator" class WILL have it's war with Iran. One more bogus regime change war (Part 2 in Iran, we already toppled a democratically elected govt of theirs) coming up. Watch your TV for the ramp up, Brian Williams has been known to cum on air at the majesty of our rockets red glare. This is the stuff of empires in decline.

    but we've heard that before..
    I would think there would have to be state wide protests, and I think there would have to be a revolution.
    They ain't gonna go quietly- the mullas would have to be deposed

    Yes and that will likely come from the direction of the Iranian Kurds who truly detest the corrupt bastards in Teheran and will join forces with the PMOI. If you want to know what is happening then this website will tell you.

    The Wall Street/donor/"job creator" class is fed up with them. Gee, if only we hadn't taken out their duly democratically elected govt to prop up the Shah for US corporate interests.

    The rial has crashed against the dollar, the people have never been as angry. The Kurds won't be on their own they are being assisted by the Saudis, and the Israelis.

    The value of US dollar surpasses 110,000 Iranian rials

    Crisis within the Iranian regime deepening leading to popular protests

    good lord. the rial was at about 30k a couple months ago!

    Ya. this one feels different - not just Tehran, and protests are extensive and long lasting..across multi-social strata..
    I won't get my hopes up but that would be just awesome to see the regime deposed!

    If President Obama had backed the Green revolution instead of doing nothing, we probably would not be having this discussion right now.
