So far this round of anti-government unrest, which began Sunday by shopkeepers in Tehran as the rial has plunged to record lows against the dollar, has witnessed plenty of riot control measures - but no independent confirmation of gunfire on the crowds in the streets. It started when Tehran shopkeepers in the Jomhouri area and near the Grand Bazaar shuttered their stores and has since spread to the college campuses.

It was the US that brought the regime in Iran to power. The CIA's involvement in Mossadegh's overthrow is undeniable. Now, dissatisfied with the current government, they are doing everything, including military intervention. Just like they created ISIS and Al-Qaeda and unleashed them on all of humanity, primarily Muslims.

Do you think the protests are real, or orchestrated by outside forces (US & Israel)?

Yes, the protests are real. Of course, the US and Israel will support them. It's in line with their policies. Who likes a religious and bigoted regime?
