    Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Friday insisted
    that the Islamic republic would 'not back down' in the face of
    protests after the biggest rallies yet in an almost two week
    movement sparked by anger over the rising cost of living.

    Chanting slogans including 'death to the dictator' and setting
    fire to official buildings, crowds of people opposed to the
    clerical establishment marched through major cities late Thursday.

    Internet monitor Netblocks said authorities had imposed a
    total connectivity blackout late Thursday and added early
    Friday that the country has 'now been offline for 12 hours...
    in an attempt to suppress sweeping protests'.

    . . .

    NOT a good idea to diss Trump over this stuff.
