Iran: The reverberation of 'Death to the Dictator' in Tehran

Agencies
A group of young and brave people of Tehran gathered on Sunday, February 11 at
6:30pm local time at the Vali-Asr Sq. to keep alive the last month's uprising
in Iran. They chanted 'Death to the Dictator' and other anti-government
slogans.
Other residents and youth in the area who heard the chants joined the protest
and added their voices to the slogans.
This demonstration concurs the anniversary of the Anti-Monarchy revolution in
1979, where the mullahs' regime has claimed to have mobilized thousands of
people to hold this anniversary.
The uprising, which started on Dec. 28, 2017, lasted a few weeks. It started
in the religious city of Mashhad and rapidly expanded to some 130 cities and
towns in the entire country.
But despite temporarily decrease in those demonstration, Tehran and dozens of
other major cities are like the fire under the ashes.
Millions in U.S. Cash Obama Gave to Iran Now Traced to Funding Global
Terrorism
The U.S. government has traced some of the $1.7 billion released to Iran by
the Obama administration to Iranian-backed terrorists in the two years since
the cash was transferred.
According to knowledgeable sources, Iran has used the funds to pay its main
proxy, the Lebanon-based terrorist group Hezbollah, along with the Quds Force,
Iran's main foreign intelligence and covert action arm and element of the
Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.
The U.S. money supplied to Iran as part of an arms settlement dating back to
the 1970s also has been traced to Iran's backing of Houthi rebels seeking to
take power in Yemen. Iran has been supporting the Yemen rebels as part of a
bid to encircle and eventually take control of Saudi Arabia.
The intelligence tracing the American funds to Iranian-backed terrorists is
likely to further fuel President Trump's effort to undo the Iran nuclear deal,
the Obama administration's main foreign policy initiative codified in the 2015
Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, as the Iran nuclear deal is called.
Despite promises to reject the deal during the presidential campaign, Mr.
Trump announced in January the U.S. would not pull out of the Iran nuclear
accord for now. But the president criticized the transfer of money to Tehran
and signaled that Washington is going after Iran's funding of terrorism.
