Iran’s opposition leader Maryam Rajavi has used the social networking site, Twitter, in solidarity with the protesters who filled the streets of the capital Tehran on Monday.
The protesters took to the streets objecting the rise of the dollar to the Iranian currency.
Rajavi confirmed via Twitter that the high prices crises, which left the Iranian people in a problematic situation, is a result of the Iranian regime’s policy who plundered hundreds of billions or spent money suppressing its people and engaging in war in Syria and the rest of the region.
