🇮🇷 REGIME PROFESSOR SAYS PEOPLE SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT THAT JUST KILLED 2,000 OF THEM
University of Tehran professor tells Al Jazeera Iranians "understand this is a security issue" despite economic hardship. Yesterday's pro-regime rallies show people support the country.
She works for the state. At a state university. Saying what the state wants said on TV.
Those "pro-state demonstrations" were bused-in government employees and IRGC families. That happened while 2,000 bodies were being stacked at morgues.
"Whatever the hardships are, we'll defend our country."
Except 190 cities just erupted because people can't afford eggs. The bazaar merchants who funded the regime for 45 years walked out.
That's a full economic revolt.
She's framing mass protests over currency collapse as foreign security threat. Right.
When your defense is "people are suffering but they get it," you're admitting you've lost them.
