  1. The protests need to stop. It's not going to do any good.

  2. Stampeding?
    Big doubts about all of this.

  3. Brave women and men in Iran 🦁

  4. Thank you NBC for reporting on this. We need your voice.

  5. western powers overthrow the Shah and replaced him with the worst human beings in our history. Shame on the western powers. 😡😡😡

  6. You will not succeed western dogs!

  7. This is just going to end in a loss of life for the people of Iran until they can get weapons to them for self-defense. Otherwise it’s a waste.

  8. Gun Control Kills. wake up people. you need guns to overthrow governments

  9. Pray for Iranian freedom from terror.

  10. Proof : 👹ISLAM👹…is a VIOLENT religion , and NOT a PEACEFUL one

  11. The same scenes that we had in Burma during the anti-coup protests.

  12. My Dear Iranian friends, please discard your Religion which is the main cause of your distress.

    The regime is not your problem, just neglect it. Develop an intelligent strategy to overcome this problem, i.e., start leaving the Religion step by step slowly but steadily.

  13. When people in Tehran will finally rise up and support the people in Kurdistan?

  14. You cant burn things and expect that iran want stop these arsonists. Holier than thow demoRats. Who gunned down children? As you demoRats say, wheres the evidence?

  15. How does the rest of the world support this?

  16. I said it from the beginning,there is no chance the revolt will succeed,as long as only a minority of Iranians are in the streets.For a revolution you need the whole of people to revolt,and i don't see this in Iran.

  17. people talking about freedom but iran as state is being denied its freedom by west so till Iran became fully free and secured the people should understand and stay with govt

  18. yes govt is using force to stop because the protesters have no clear demands to discuss with govt other than making social unrest . what is their demand .

  19. Iranian gov't is Israel's pet bogeyman.
    ISI is the leash.

  20. I hope that the United States has the good sense to stay out of this. It is a Iranian civil internal matter. Their problems are not ours.

  21. See what happens when you don't have guns for citizens…. you get slaughtered

  22. Unless we forcefully terminate these "government" officials nothing will ever be done.

  23. "Men in sandals beating women" that's pretty much the entire definition of Iran

  24. All the western countries must expell Iranian Diplomats and the families of Iranian Regime affiliates. Do it now.

  25. The Shah of Iran was so much better for Iran.

  26. RTVE VA Y GANA EL MUNDIAL DE LOS GENOCIDIOS.

  27. They call to change the regime

  28. Iranians, while your masters hide themselves in walled fortresses, attack what they value but do not defend.

  29. I am from Iran. Iran and islamic republic are two different things. mullah's regime (islamic republic) are killing, shooting, torturing, raping people of Iran. they sentenced protesters to death they have no mercy . in the Kurdistan and Balochestan two province of Iran they are massacaring people. World exclusively Usa must take real action against islamic republic and finish the nuclear deal with this cruel regime who killing us. be iranian voice

  30. Lies
    Rich coming from the United States of terror

  31. Non violent demonstrations versus brutal force by the government. In most cases a recipe for toppling the criminal regime. However the criminal government in Iran doesn’t care for how it looks in the world and even in it’s own country. They only care about continuing to live in extreme wealth while sending their own children to western schools, and being the biggest hypocrites in the world with regards to their fake faith.
