1/Heated rhetoric between Washington & Tehran over recent days culminate in an ALL CAPS threat from #Trump directed at #Iran's president #Rouhani (flash-back to his tweet in Jan for N.Korea's Kim Jong Un on "bigger & more powerful" nuclear button). Trajectory deeply problematic:

.@realDonaldTrump must consider how to respond to the latest chemical weapons attack in #Syria
It must be devastating as both #Assad and #Putin have now acted as if US warnings mean nothing

The meeting in Turkey between #Putin, #Erdogan & #Rouhani was a bad thing
They were planning how to carve up #Syria among other things
I think they read too much into the #Trump statement about leaving Syria
He didn't say "So do whatever you want"

In fact if they wanted to make sure we wouldn't leave soon
Or leave the field to them
A chemical attack was about the best way to do that
It seems way too much like a test of @realDonaldTrump & @AmbJohnBolton
That's unwise

1/ Im seeing a lot of bad takes and empty counter signalling on the alt-media twitter side regarding the #IranProtests

2/ To understand the #IranProtests you have to understand the roots of the Iranian Regime. The ‘79 revolution was a broad popular uprising by many factions against royal rule that was hijacked by Shia clerics who successfully sidelined socialists,liberals and took full power
3/ The Regime that the Mullahs instituted was called an Islamic Republic. This was a compromise solution where the liberal radical demands of the Revolution could be satisfied while simultaneously the Shia Islamism of Khomeini could reign.
A thread with some thoughts on current cycle of protests in #Iran! (1/10)
The protests are driven by socioeconomic grievances, not political aspiration. One should do the protesters justice by not reading anything bigger into them – at least, not for now. (2/10)
Street protests are not really new under Rouhani’s presidency. Peaceful sit-ins, strikes & gatherings in front of ministries & state institutions have happened regularly in various parts of the country, as people continue to have unresolved/unaddressed economic grievances. (3/10)
