1. Overnight they called for a strike

and today multiple sources say the Tabriz market is completely closed and the Tehran market is about half closed.

Whether shopkeepers are upholding a strike or simply trying to avoid trouble is anyone's guess.

However, strikes are what toppled the Shah.

4. Life is so much easier for puppet dictators

I bet he's sitting in his office and wishing that he had remained a puppet dictator like the Sauds instead of mouthing off about how evil Israel and the U.S. are ... I hope the U.S. installs someone like the Shah again. Maybe we'd get one dollar gas if we controlled Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iraq!
