Riots Engulf Iran As Rial Currency Value Plummets
Iran on the brink
The Iranian government Wednesday, Oct. 3, invoked the emergency measures drawn up for the 2009 protests to deploy large-scale Bassij militia forces in the capital and put down the first angry protests against mounting economic hardship and the plummeting rial.
Debkafile’s Iranian sources report two waves of riots swept through Tehran’s trading centers Wednesday: the stores trading gold coins and foreign currency on Fereowsi, Estanbol and Manoucheri Streets, and the celebrated gold jewelry market in the Tehran Bazaar.
Money changers and gold traders attacked police forces and torched their vehicles, playing cat and mouse with the officers after they arrested some of the money changers and accused them of black market dealings.
This was part of the regime’s effort to curtail the steep plunge of the Iranian currency against the dollar. Wednesday, a dollar went for 40,000 rials compared with 37,500 rials Tuesday and 24,000 only a week ago.
Fearing that the troubles Wednesday presaged a general strike shutting down the bazaar for an indefinite period, the authorities decided to draw the line before the unrest spread to the rest of the capital and other cities.
Two teams are now at work to deal with the crisis before it gets out of hand: One is meeting at the office of supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei; the second, including Interior Minister Mostafa Mohamnmad-Najjar and Revolutionary commander of the Tehran district, is working on ways to rein in the crisis in the presidential bureau of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Both have received intelligence briefings, according to which there was a real risk of the Tehran merchants’ revolt igniting a popular uprising in Tehran that may well encompass the entire country.
The brutal Bassij militia were accordingly sent into Tehran. They were told to spread out early Thursday and force the merchants to open their shops. They were directed to act firmly but cautiously and avoid loss of life. Iran’s rulers are fully aware the any blood spilt at this stage would quickly inflame the masses. source – DEBKA

Maybe they should be doing more to help their country’s economy instead of spreding so much hate for Israel and making nuclear bombs to try and destroy Israel. See what so much hatred does to people. I could not live with myself if my whole existence was about living in hate. Especially over a country who just wants to be left alone and cares nothing for you anyways……..how pathetic.

To Joseph, & to the readers. The leadership of Israel is led by the adversary. The rising of nations against Israel is a deliberate creation of those who do the bidding of the adversary. These are satanic “armageddonites” if you will. Since the time of Israel underJoshua failed to carry out God’s order to kill all the Nephillim in the middle east, there has been trouble there. The old testiment in basic terms was one big turf war. It’s human failure to be completed was also the reason for the global flood. Demonic mixing of the bloodlines who lead the Pharo’s / globalist /neocon/ khazarian false Jews, to do the bidding of the adversary. They own 80% of Israel. They brought Jews to Israel & created the state against the will of God. They divide & conquor, conspiring to take over nation’s currency in false nation building of continous war. Iran holds 8 x more oil than Saudi Arabia who will have nothing left in 20 years at the current rate of extraction. Oil is abiotic / self replenishing. It is the blood of the earth, like the blood of a body. It’s all over it, at 35,000 to 45,000 feet. Here’s the thing. In the S.W. corner of Israel, there is easiest access to oil in the shape of a hook running N.S. through the whole country as you see it by todays political boundaries. In reality this is not the whole of the land initially given by God. This pool of oil contains 27.2 TRILLION barrels of oil, which will bring nations to war. Watch what happens in the straits of Hoemuz, where control will begin to deliberately create economic upheaval in many nations. For bliblical reference of the oil in Israel, see the name of ASHER. “And let him dip his foot in oil.” The oil of Saudi Arabia is generated beneath Israel in the first place. Extraction is greater than this overflow. When Israel drills wells on the plains of megiddo, great violence will errupt over oil. The Arabs will blame the drilling drains the oil from Arab lands. Since Hebrews are the root bloodlines of the Judao Christian society that dominates the west, America and Israel are spiritually one nation, yet the land of Israel is removed from us, just like our heritage and the very nature of being human, have also been stolen from us. If man knew his own nature and that of all life, he would not live as he does. He would know that an evil done to another is evil against himself, and instead, love others as himself as is intended by our most high God. It is what humanity will do about the question of Israel, that is the object lesson from God. Human events of evil due to free will are permitted, as this brings humanity to the brink of decision between the adversary and our God. Stretching this time of grace however, will wear out the saints. It certainly keeps the messangers very busy.

May the will of The Heavenly Father be done. May we see The Lord Jesus soon! We are living in the evil day Pal wrote about in Ephesians.
Make sure you have your armor on! The evil is increasing in size and power daily.
God Bless!
