Hundreds of citizens protested Thursday in Mashad, Iran's second-largest city, over high prices and economic mismanagement. According to Reuters, they shouted slogans like "death to (President Hassan) Rouhani" and "death to the dictator."
"Even after the billions in sanctions relief they secured through the nuclear deal, the ayatollahs still can’t provide for the basic needs of their own people—perhaps because they’ve funneled so much of that money into their campaign of regional aggression in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen," Cotton said. "The protests in Mashhad show that a regime driven by such a hateful ideology cannot maintain broad popular support forever, and we should support the Iranian people who are willing to risk their lives to speak out against it."
