Iran’s Attorney General is accusing a US-Israeli-Saudi think thank of masterminding the Iran protests:
“TEHRAN, Jan. 04 (MNA) – Attorney General Montazeri on Thu. revealed that the mastermind behind the eruption of protests in the country was a US-Israeli-Saudi think tank that had been plotting for the rallies since four years ago.
Mohammad Jafar Montazeri, Iran’s Attorney General, revealed the details about a think tank responsible for the week-long protests in several cities across the country, saying “the mastermind of the project was an American named Michael D’Andrea, former Chief of the CIA’s Counter Terrorism Center [current head of the Agency’s Iran Mission Center], and an operations room composed of three sides, namely the United States, Zionist regime and Al Saud, was formed for leading the unrest. The project was funded by Saudi Arabia and mainly planned by D’Andrea and an intelligence officer affiliated with [Israel’s intelligence agency] Mossad.”
He went on to add that the think tank conducted years of research and finally decided on launching campaigns inside Iran under the titles, ‘no to price hikes’, ‘no to paying bills’, and the campaign of the retired and those who lost their money in bankrupt financial institutes.
The think tank finally decided on executing the Libyan plan, i.e. moving from the margins toward the center, he added. …”
Last June, The New York Times ran an article about Michael D’Andrea called “C.I.A. Names the ‘Dark Prince’ to Run Iran Operations, Signaling a Tougher Stance”:
“WASHINGTON — He is known as the Dark Prince or Ayatollah Mike, nicknames he earned as the Central Intelligence Agency officer who oversaw the hunt for Osama bin Laden and the American drone strike campaign that killed thousands of Islamist militants and hundreds of civilians.
Now the official, Michael D’Andrea, has a new job. He is running the C.I.A.’s Iran operations, according to current and former intelligence officials, an appointment that is the first major sign that the Trump administration is invoking the hard line the president took against Iran during his campaign.
Mr. D’Andrea’s new role is one of a number of moves inside the spy agency that signal a more muscular approach to covert operations under the leadership of Mike Pompeo, the conservative Republican and former congressman, the officials said. The agency also recently named a new chief of counterterrorism, who has begun pushing for greater latitude to strike militants. …
But he has invoked his hard line on Iran in other ways. Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson has described the deal as a failure, and Mr. Trump has appointed to the National Security Council hawks eager to contain Iran and push regime change, the groundwork for which would most likely be laid through C.I.A. covert action.”
Asked whether Mr. D’Andrea’s appointment was a sign that the C.I.A. planned to take up a more aggressive line toward Iran, Mr. Eatinger said, “I don’t think it’s the wrong read.”
What do you think?
Is this Ayatollah Mike behind the Iran protests? I would say there is a pretty damn high chance given the timing and the 24/7 shilling for regime change by American politicians.
Note: Can you tell the difference between Donald Trump and Marco Rubio’s foreign policy?
As the #IranProtests continue, we strongly support the Iranian people's right to peacefully speak out against the dictatorial regime's corruption and political repression. Demonstrators want freedom to provide for their families and their futures.

Will you join me in standing with the Iranian people against the brutal regime that oppresses them and threatens America and our allies? https://t.co/eIb3MT6Roj

Any regime that goes to such great lengths to silence its citizens cannot claim that it exists to support them #IranProtests

when will rubio et al oppose the oppression of Palestinians and theft of their homeland?
Rubio is the type who thinks the Palestinians have only themselves to blame for hating Jews so much for no reason at all, but simple anti Semitism.
@Daniel
I love it when I hear the term anti-Semitic. These communists are not original at all and use the only tool in their bag-name calling.
That was Fucking quick Mullahs. They must have a first class Intelligence team.
They knew it before it happened, so they did away with the veil 2(?) days before the Iranian women were supposed to spontaneously start to protest against it.
Bernie and Elizabeth Warren support regime Change for Iran too.
We can be sure that anything Israel wants, both the Dimorats and Republicucks will agree on, unanimously.
Of course Bernie the JEW ad that mental case lesbo Warren supports another jew attack on a sovereign Nation. Bernie’s a JEW. Talk about getting fooled by Trump; how could any-one believe one syllable an Uber KIKE like Bernie drools. Warren is the type of demented loonie jew promote to advance their agenda.
I thought Rubio was talking about the United States and how his Globalist Congress is trying to silence all the independent media who do not follow the Globalist agenda … I guess I stand corrected.
