When people living under a dictatorship rename a street after a foreign leader, it is not flattery.
It is a political act. pic.twitter.com/fpyc09AcUP

A protester in the Iranian capital, Tehran, changed the name of a street in the city after US President Donald Trump on Tuesday. | Over the past few hours, social media platforms have circulated a video showing a protester in Tehran placing a sticker bearing the name of US President Donald Trump on a street sign, a symbolic act that has sparked widespread controversy and mixed reactions both inside and outside Iran. ● Several Iranian cities are witnessing a wave of ongoing protests fueled by the economic situation, rising prices, and the devaluation of the local currency. These protests are accompanied by escalating political slogans and sharp criticism of the authorities. Activists consider this a unique form of political protest, carrying implications that extend beyond mere symbolism, especially given the rising tensions between Tehran and Washington. ● The video's circulation coincided with statements by Donald Trump warning Iranian authorities against using violence to suppress protesters, threatening a "very harsh" response if security forces killed demonstrators. The U.S. President added that Washington is closely monitoring developments in Iran, emphasizing that any bloody escalation will be met with a strong response.

Moon of Alabama | Every two years or so the CIA and Mossad are instigating regime change riots in Iran. These attempts inevitably fail. | Currently a few thousand young men are during nighttime burning cars, mosques, shops and police offices in various cities of Iran. Armed agents are firing at and killing policemen. All these cells are coordinated via Internet connections. It usually takes a week or two until Iranian government forces find the connections, trace down the ring leaders and shut them down. That process may take a little longer this time because some of the terror cells have been equipped with Starlink terminals. As the unofficial CIA spokesman David Ignatius at the Washington Post writes (writes):

That pretty much confirms that those terminals are already there. ● Meanwhile Russia has developed equipment that allows to detect Active Starling terminals from the air. Iran has already received copies and will soon produces enough of its own to cover its cities.

US President Donald Trump says the US will do "something" on Greenland, "whether they like it or not." | He made the comments during a meeting with oil executives at the White House Friday. Trump said that he would like to make a deal “the easy way” to acquire Greenland, because if the US doesn’t own it, he claimed Russia or China will take over it. “If we don't do it the easy way, we're going to do it the hard way,” he said, without explaining what the “hard way” entailed. Trump also added that he is “a fan” of Denmark but questioned the country's claim to Greenland.
