From the day protests began in Iran on Dec. 28, stemming from Iran’s worsening economic situation, Iranian protesters have denounced the money spent by their country in Palestine, Syria and Lebanon. They chanted the slogan, “No Gaza or Lebanon, My Life to Iran.”
Iranian-backed Palestinian factions kept mum and refrained from commenting on the protests out of fear that their stances would impinge on such aid and result in its halt or reduction.
