  1. Iranian prostest peacfully for freedom and democracy.
    Iranian people want new normal goverment at peace with the world.
    Thank you for covering Iranian news.
    Woman life liberty

  2. These same people will be screaming" Death To America" next week !!

  3. CIA and SIS working overtime!

  4. The US infiltrating and trying to spark a colour revolution with the goal of regime change. The US needs their oil and this is their classic playbook.

  5. These protests were infiltrated by violent parties paid by the US. So, the women of Iran have backed out. According to a woman on the ground, the protests stopped a while back and life goes on as usual. It is only the collective west and their media that continue to push this narrative. I trust the women of Iran to make change on their own terms. It is their issue. The collective west needs to respect their culture and mind their own business.

  6. This needs more coverage!

  7. Whoa! Safety in numbers,

  8. Islamic government has an office in Washington.
    Why US is not demanding Islamic politicians and employees to leave US ????

  9. My parents knew Iran was lost when the the so called French backed revolution happened and came to America to give their kids a better life. I hope one day I can visit a free Iran as an American iranian

  10. At the very least the world finally sees that the Iranian people are different from the regime. Hopefully these Dinosaurs will die out and a younger more progressive state emerges who let go of these stupid and archaic ideas around dress code. I really don’t have high hopes of this resulting in a true democracy for people. Even the USA doesn’t have such a thing. It’s just a country full of corrupt politicians and bureaucrats who exploit the poor.

  11. Freedom of speech. #1 ennemie of billionnaires

  12. This is a revolution Azadeh khanoom read or listen the news not from the mullah regime, You do not know even what happen in Iran, and what people shouting in all Irans streets: They want regime chgange. Read more

  13. Burn baby burn. Hold fast on the protests. The Iranian government are murderers

  14. Maybe if their cowardly men were less concerned with the goats…..

  15. What mullahs in iran trying to enforce has nothing to do with religion but it's a cult.

  16. I hope the Iranian people can throw off the shackles of the mullahs.

  17. Iran needs a regime change. They focus on nuclear development instead of people development. They focus on weapons and hijab instead of health and welfare. They need the government overthrown instead of just demonstrations.

  18. it's not protest anymore. it's a revolution taking place soon. 4 decades of tyranny murder chaos corrupt torture and fascism will be over✌

  19. Tiny minority of westernised Iranians are leading this anti hijab campaign, spurred on by Iranian dissidents in West.

  20. Why are the people demanding Khomeini to leave? This is not hijab protest… It's clearly a protest to change regime.
    Stop fooling people

  21. Mind Begs the Question:
    If Hijab – shields from Prying Eyes
    Prying Eyes – no need to shield from
    Prying Eyes – best to shield from?

  22. "(And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves,refer it to Allah/Creator and His Messenger{pbuh},if you believe in Allah/Creator and in the Last Day.That is better and more suitable for final determination."
    Holy Quran (4:59)

  23. Ladies should Not Be Killed in the street by morality police.

  24. Iranian authorities denying killing missa amini!then they start killing the young demonstrators, the barbaric regime of mullahs got no shame!

  25. we are doing these kind of protest every few years and getting killed in thousands and nobody knows about it ,tbh we dont care , this one is another one with women at the forefront, men and women are fighting for years in my country (iran btw) since i was a child , only this one gets seriously noticed globaly .

    every time we get more done and get stronger , at most the next generation will have the freedom we want for all , we believe that , thats why we are still fighting …

    we have an idea for freedom , and it will not die as long as we pass it on …
