Blowback? U.S. Assassination of Soleimani May Weaken Growing Protest Movement in Iran
Staff | democracynow.org | 2020-01-08
Protests broke out in Iran in November in response to high fuel prices, leading to demonstrations in dozens of cities around the country. The protesters have demanded economic relief and denounced corruption. More than 1,000 people have been killed since the outbreak of the protests and a violent crackdown by security forces. The rise in tensions between Iran and the United States, triggered by the U.S. assassination of top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, could weaken that protest movement, says Ali Kadivar, assistant professor of sociology and international studies at Boston College who was active in Iran's st…

US Jingoism Promotes Mindless Support for War with Iran
Dave Lindorff | counterpunch.org | 2020-01-08
This is not an article intended to praise Qassem Suleimani, the Commander of Iran's military who was whacked by President Trump with several Hellfire Missiles fired from a US drone at his vehicle outside the Baghdad Airport. What I do decry, however, is the almost universal characterization of Suleimani as "the baddest of the bad,"
