The frequency of large-scale protests in Iran against its ruling regime has been increasing, and lately, they have taken on a pro-U.S. stance. In a video from a June 20 protest in Abadan, Iran, a group chants, “Our enemy is right here. They’re lying when they say it’s America.”
The chants echoed a similar protest only days earlier in Tehran’s bazaar, where protesters shouted “Our incompetent government is responsible for our nation’s poverty,” again declaring, “Our enemy is right here. They’re lying when they say it’s America.”
