U.S. economic pressure on Iran is intended to turn Iranians against their government, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was quoted as saying on Saturday by his website, as Iran faces a likely reimposition of U.S. sanctions.
“They bring to bear economic pressure to separate the nation from the system … but six U.S. presidents before him tried this and had to give up,” Khamenei was quoted as saying by Khamenei.ir, referring to U.S. President Donald Trump.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is disconnected from the concerns of average Iranians.
Someone must be blamed for the protests against the regime that rocked lately the central Tehran and symbolic areas, including the Bazaar and the parliament.
Khamenei; “They bring to bear economic pressure to separate the nation from the system … but six U.S. presidents before him tried this and had to give up,” now it’s not the presidents that creating the economic misery in Iran.
Iran’s regime is spending more money on Syrian civil war and arab allies, than on average Iranians.
An Iranian revolution is way overdue. Mullahs are some of the most unfit POS that ever tried to manage a country. Mullahs are already threatening their population with execution if they protest. I can’t wait to see them dragging the lot of them through the streets and hanging them the same way they have hung so many thousands of Iranians. Power to the people to take their country back from the mullahs that have held them hostage for the last 40 years.
Four protesters killed
To add to that

You can digest the news about the Iranian security forces killing protesters after demonstrations erupted for a second day in the southwestern city of Muhammarah, but how you will explain when world Cup spat turns deadly (and that in Lebanon) as fan killed after Germany match?
On Wednesday, Mohamad Zaher was stabbed to death for merely celebrating the victory of his favorite team – Brazil – in a knock-out match.
According to security officials that spoke with DW on the condition of anonymity, at some point Mohammad also vocally berated the German players for their unconvincing performance that evening against South Korea.
Police say his criticism of the German team provoked two Germany fans, Shafik Shams and Hussain Braytee, who were mourning the German team’s exit from the tournament, barely a few meters away from the cafe. An argument ensued and before anyone could make sense of it, the altercation turned violent.

Normally, a Turkish cook gets 150 lira a day, but a syrier can work for only a third a day, says Mustafa Yilmaz, who is unemployed.

“Most opposition parties want to send us back so we were good at Erdogan winning, he has no problem staying here,” says Sirwan Mohammad Ali.

However according to Press TV:
Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says the claims about an Iranian diplomat arrested over allegations of plotting a bomb attack on a meeting of the notorious anti-Iran terrorist group, the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO), in France constitute a “sinister false flag ploy.”
Belgian authorities said on Monday that the Iranian diplomat had been arrested along with a 38-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman, suspected of plotting a bomb attack on the meeting in Paris attended by US President Donald Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and several former European and Arab ministers.
Taking to his official Twitter account on Monday, Zarif said, “How convenient: Just as we embark on a presidential visit to Europe, an alleged Iranian operation and its ‘plotters’ arrested.”
