Many have talked about the trickle down effect of the American liberation of Iraq. We have to look no further than Iran to see this effect:

Sporadic clashes rocked, today, several provincial cities, such as, Esfahan, Hamadan, Mashad, Ahwaz, Oroomiah (former Rezai-e) and Shiraz as students came out of the universities, despited the formal interdiction, and rallied to hundreds of supporters.

Islamic regime’s Special forces and vigilantes attacked the demonstrators who shouted slogans against the regime and its leaders while requesting Free Elections for Iran’s Self Determination.

Quick translation of some highlights from the Peykeiran piece on the slogans:

Deektator haya kon mamlekat ra raha kon= Have Shame you dictators and leave the nation alone

Death to dictator

Khamenei Pinoche, Iran will not be another Chille

Students are awake and they are sick of Sad Ali

Amel har jenayat e een regime Velayate= The cause of all crimes of position are the Velayat (Supreme Leader)

Jomhooreeye Eslami degar asr nadarad, rahbar bejoz khodkoshee rahe degar nadarad= The Islamic Republic has no more effect, the leader has no way out exept for suicide

This is your last chance/final warning, the students are ready for the uprising

Posters and tracts that were distributed had many slogans in favor of US intereference in Iran. A poster read “Establish democracy with American boots”, another one read “foreign oppression is preferable to domestic oppression” . The cover of a student magazine carried by everyone stated “Establishing democracy and freedom has the highest value even if its through occupation and foreign interference”.

A tract read: “Our main enemy is not the US, our main enemy is inside of our house”.
