Mr. Mohsen Shahroudi, a midlevel cleric, said the revolution had brought Iran freedom and evolution. “Look at the inequality in America, look at the Yellow Vests in France, across the world everybody is unhappy. Iran is no different.”Another cleric, Taghi Mollah Ahmad, passed by and chimed in. “Of course, some people are displeased, but they are unhappy with the government, not with the state and the Islamic republic,” he said. “The presence of people today on the streets all over Islamic Iran,” he said, “means the enemy will never reach its evil objectives.”
