Iran protests

Graham made the comments during a FOX News interview as the death toll of Iranian protesters at the hands of security forces continues to climb.

In a video, protesters can be heard shouting "Marg bar Khamenei," which translates to "Death to Khamenei." 

Separately, several Iranian Kurdish opposition parties issued a joint statement urging a general strike also on Thursday to support the protests.

The people of Iran are no longer whispering the name Pahlavi. They are shouting it.

At a bare minimum, statements of support and solidarity from democratic leaders are crucial to sustaining protest momentum and ensuring continued media attention.

Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi said regime change will be driven by Iranians themselves, rejecting foreign military intervention and predicting closer ties with Israel after the Islamic Republic’s

A US State Department post warns Iran as protests continue, with reports of dozens killed, hundreds arrested, and Trump threatening similar action to capturing Venezuela's President Maduro.

Government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani said each Iranian will receive 1 million tomans ($7) per month for four months via direct deposit credit for basic necessities.

As the death toll rises, with more than 30 dead already, one brave protester says, “We have taken our lives in our hands as our weapon.”

This struggle has increased substantially following threats by President Trump, in which he said that America was "locked and loaded" to assist protestors if they were attacked by government forces.

The plan, called "Plan B" by the British report, would include 86-year-old Khamenei and 20 close people, including family and aides.
