As a #Hillary supporter and #NeverTrumper I'd love to be retweeting people on the left expressing proud solidarity and support for #IranProtestors. Nevertheless, foreign governments, including the European Union, have issued little more than calls for the Iranian government to guarantee their citizens’ right to protest. Parsi added that he isn’t advocating for Western intervention, merely a strong statement in support of Iranian democracy. These latest protests, however, have sprung up in poorer corners of the country believed to be bastions of pro-government support. There is some speculation that Western governments are staying silent for fear of jeopardizing the 2015 nuclear pact negotiated under Barack Obama.
