Tens of thousands of people in Iran are marching in support of the Iranian government and calling for the death of seditionists:

“Following days of violent unrest gripping Iran, tens of thousands of people flocked to streets in the country’s major cities in a massive show of support for the government and the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.

Massive pro-government rallies kicked off on Wednesday in different towns and cities, including Ahvaz, Kermanshah, Bushehr, Abadan, Gorgan and Qom, local media reported.

Chants of “Leader, we are ready!” and “We offer the blood in our veins to our Leader” were heard as images provided by state media showed thousands-strong crowds waving Iranian flags and a holding placards that read “Death to seditionists.” …”

Russia and Turkey have slammed foreign interference in Iran’s domestic politics. France has called out the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia and compared Trump’s foreign policy to George W. Bush’s “Axis of Evil.” The European Union wants to stay out of it.
