and for the slander he made against the Iranian nation.
Demonstrations began, of course, on December 28th over Iran's ailing economy, but quickly swelled into widespread anti-government protests, demanding the fall of the country's supreme leader.

In an interview with Politico, President Trump called for a regime change, going on to say, quote, the man is a sick man who should run his country properly and stop killing people.
That's Fox's Stephanie Bennett reporting from London on the latest as anti-regime protests, which have been happening since December, continue in Iran. America's listening to Fox News.

federal agents trying to do their work here. There's been a sharp response from the governor and the mayor, both saying they're not going to be intimidated by any federal investigation.
