Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani is under pressure by conflicting demands of the people and hardliners including those on top of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
While anti-government demonstrations in Iran continued for the fifth day and unconfirmed posts on social media called for protests of a media blackout, the principal of a Shi’ite seminary in Eshtehard, a small town west of Tehran, says some 500 demonstrators attacked the seminary on August 3.
A hard-line daily close to the office of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has quoted a spokesman for the Yemeni Houthi rebels as a warning to Western companies to leave Riyadh, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi. The hard-line daily further quoted the spokesman as saying that "missiles are on their way."
