Iran hard-liners bury a Revolutionary Guard member killed in gas price protests, blaming the unrest on foreigners, including the US

 As a cold rain fell on a suburb of Iran’s capital on Wednesday, women swallowed by black chadors and men in green military-style jackets walked alongside the flag-draped coffin of a Revolutionary Guard member, one of over 100 people reported to be killed in protests across the country.

Iran's Rouhani claims victory over protests

By   Darryl Coote

No endorsement however, it's an important chapter in history, this looks like an Iranian-surnamed person wrote this additionally.

Don’t Blame Washington for the 1953 Iran Coup

Posting in history, I've looked at this, I'll be surprised if we get an all-clear on this but I'll keep an open mind.
