U.S.: Iran Protesters Showing No Hostility toward America
(Radio Farda) Asked if Iranians were upset about America's economic pressure, the chief U.S. diplomat on Iran, Brian Hook, told the Council on Foreign Relations on Dec. 12 that there were "protests in over a hundred cities. And there was not a single protest that we have seen against the United States, against the president, or against American sanctions. And this is very significant." "There was one video I saw of an Iranian woman climbing a pole that had a 'death to America' banner on it, and she pulled it down. Instead of seeing images of the American president burned, you saw videos of the supreme leader's images being burned."
