There is literally blood in the streets of Tehran as pro-government security forces are being shown on social media video to be firing on anti-government protesters there. Only hours earlier, U.S. President Trump issued a warning to Iran that “the world is watching” the protests and how the government would react.
Later on Sunday, Trump again tweeted, “don’t kill your protesters.”
مشاور امنیت ملی امروز عنوان کرد كه تحریم ها و اعتراضات، ایران را«به شدت تحت فشار»قرار داده است و آنها را مجبور به مذاكره می كند.در واقع، اصلا برایم اهمیتی نداردکه آیا آنها مذاکره می کنند یا نه.این کاملاً به عهده ی خودشان است، اما سلاح هسته ای نداشته باشیدو«معترضان خود را نکشید.» https://t.co/DBGGs8QFcJ

On Sunday, armed Iranian militia were reported to be firing at demonstrators protesting Ayatollah Khameini’s regime following the military’s admission of shooting down Ukraine International Airline’s Flight 752 last week.
Angry but peaceful protests against the Islamic republic grew out of gatherings intended to mourn 176 people killed in the airline disaster.
Media footage showed blood pouring from a gunshot wound. The Daily Mail reported the woman was killed not far from Azadi Square.

Other media posts reflect panic in the crowd as gunshots ring out …
You may not know #Farsi & can’t understand the conversation of the protesters. But by watching this video can easily understand the sense of these youth, who are trying to hide their self, when #IRGC member points his war gun at them & shoots straight. #IranProtests2020 #Tehran pic.twitter.com/KTDcf17I1b

The Daily Mail reported tensions began to rise Sunday night when posters of the Ayatollah and the deceased General Qassem Soleimani were torn down, trampled, and burned. Chants of “death to Khameini” and other anti-government cries filled the air.
Another video shows Iranians tearing down #Soleimani poster. You know why?
78 people killed in an stampede in his funeral, 178 people killed in exacting his revenge by downing #UkrainianPlane & 1500 killed by IRGC in #IranProtests . People are furious when you call him a hero. pic.twitter.com/2COgVHpsNV— Masih Alinejad ?️ (@AlinejadMasih) January 12, 2020

According to the British paper, “those brutally breaking up the demonstrators were members of the Basij, a paramilitary volunteer wing of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, and were acting on the orders of the regime. ”
Riot police armed with batons, water cannons, and tear gas were earlier at other protest gatherings around the city.
#IranProtests occurred at multiple sites today in Tehran, according to videos sent to the Center for Human Rights in Iran. Here tear gas is shot directly into a crowd outside Shademaan Metro Station in Tehran at approx 7:30pm Tehran time. pic.twitter.com/elRzY6sUfa
