Iran

It's a great shame that the news about Venezuela has eclipsed the news about Iran. Not that MSM has given much attention to the people rising up against the mullahs even before Trump's actions in Venezuela. The only point that seems to have been covered in the British press were Trumps comments. Nothing about supportive protests here in London outside the Iranian Embassy yesterday.

Hi Ivonne I am finding it quite shocking that there is silence over people in Iran wanting to free themselves from the current Islamist rulers.

Hello Lucille,Thank you for your post as I had not heard about the protests outside the Iranian Embassy yesterday.  Pity that they did not receive some coverage, at least.

Mr AinsworthThe low press coverage surprised me too. Still, more importantly, Trump had discussions with Netanyahu 5 days ago, so I'm sure that there are plans for peacemaking.'Typical snide and off the point comment.Are you marching for or against the mullahs ?
