The head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard on Monday threatened to destroy the United States and its Middle Eastern allies, accusing them during a televised speech of instigating violent protests that erupted earlier this month after the announcement of massive fuel price hikes.

Speaking to tens of thousands of people holding signs with anti-U.S. slogans in Tehran's Revolution Square, Gen. Hossein Salami accused the U.S., Britain, Saudi Arabiaand Israel of fueling the deadly unrest.

We have shown restraint. ... We have shown patience towards the hostile moves of America, the Zionist regime (Israel) and Saudi Arabia against the Islamic Republic of Iran," he said. "If you cross our red line, we will destroy you. We will not leave any move unanswered.

The protests against a massive rise in fuel prices and a slash in government subsidies have further divided many Iranians and their religious regime. The country has seen an economic decline since the U.S. restored sanctions after withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear deal negotiated during the Obama administration.

Many have complained of the inability to obtain jobs, travel abroad and soaring food prices and the cost of living. Some Iranians have seen their once middle-class lifestyle reduced to day-to-day struggles to stay afloat.

At least 143 people have been killed since Nov. 15, according to Amnesty International. The human-rights group accused Iranian security forces of using firearms against unarmed protesters from rooftops and helicopters.

The rising death toll is an alarming indication of just how ruthless the treatment of unarmed protesters has been by the Iranian authorities and reveals their appalling assault on human life, said Philip Luther, Amnestys research and advocacy director for the Middle East and North Africa.

Some demonstrators have accused the government of torturing those who've been arrested and detained.

Iran has cut off internet access for several days to quell the unrest, making it difficult for groups to ascertain the extent of the violence on the ground. Authorities said banks and government offices have been set on fire and more than 1,000 people have been arrested.

During Monday's rally, speakers called for capital punishment for rioters and further restrictions on social media. Some also criticized President Hassan Rouhanis administration for the way the fuel hike was implemented.

He promised the hike would fund new subsidies for poor families.

Gasoline in Iran remains among the cheapest in the world, with the new prices jumping 50 percent to a minimum of 15,000 rials per liter. That's 12 cents a liter, or about 50 cents a gallon. By comparison, a gallon of regular gas in the U.S. costs $2.59.

Iran watched too many Jackie Chan films. They figure that if they are one on four, they'll be just fine in the middle of the fray if they have a ladder.

If they watched Jackie Chan films they wouldn't want to destroy the US

they probably watched shitty Russian/Ugandan knock offs which is why they weren't threatened

It seems like they might be working from what the article says. If the gas prices are spiking because they can't import any and the increased price is causing domestic uprising and an economic crisis then I'm not sure how you can say they aren't working?

So the point of the sanctions was to destroy them completely? You realize that is a bad thing?

Wonder if the same people who say that N. Korea should be condemned for their treatment of citizens will bring it upon themselves to condemn Iran.
I doubt it though. Apparently the idea that Iran should get everything they want (See: Iran Deal), and if they don't, whatever occurs following the repeal is justified because "they're the victim". Wonder if it's a great idea for the E.U. to continue trying to "salvage" the deal.

I didn't say the point was to destroy them completely. Not sure where you got that from.

The point is obviously to put pressure on the government to stop developing nuclear weapons. Domestic instability seems like pressure to me.

I mean, Assad all but created ISIS by intentionally emptying his prisons of jihadis while viciously cracking down on literally everyone else.

The Iranian establishment, what with the cloak of moral authority lent to it by the clerics and its more numerous, more competent arms( the Revolutionary Guard, the army, the informal basiji thugs) is, if anything, much more stable than Assad. Our sanctions have helped create unrest which will likely result in increased repression and the hardening of Iran's anti-democratic elements alongside the weakening of its democratic elements.

That depends on when within the administration you're talking. Mattis was pretty firmly against an actual war and preferred, if anything, targeted strikes that make a point without crossing that line. Bolton, on the other hand, was practically begging for a reason.

Trump himself seems firmly anti-war, to the point of being willing to completely destabilize a region just so that he can pull troops out. He seems to be much happier crippling them economically and then waiting for the revolution to happen.
