Numerous videos posted to social media show student protests erupting across Iran after the Iranian Revolutionary Guard took responsibility for shooting down a passenger jet over Tehran that killed 176 civilians.
According to translations posted with the videos on Saturday, the protesters are demanding the resignation of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.
Chants of “Death to the dishonest Supreme Leader" break out at a protest in Tehran.
Wow.

The protests come just hours after Iran finally admitted to shooting down Ukrainian jetliner PS752 outside of Tehran earlier this week as the regime fired retaliatory missiles at U.S. military bases in response to the killing of their Gen. Qassam Soleimani.
Iran had taken steps to cover up the incident, but the public outcry was too great to dismiss.
The Islamic Republic of Iran deeply regrets this disastrous mistake.
My thoughts and prayers go to all the mourning families. I offer my sincerest condolences. https://t.co/4dkePxupzm

Though the Iranian people seem to know who to blame for the “disastrous mistake,” the U.S. mainstream media decided instead to blame President Trump for Iran’s downing of the jetliner.
Alex Jones exposes the cover-up in action as the Iranians bulldoze the evidence of the downed Ukrainian airliner, much like the way the evidence was destroyed after 9-11.
