Reuters: 'Clerics get lost!': Iran protests rage on over plane disaster
DUBAI (Reuters) - Protesters denouncing Iran’s clerical rulers took to the streets and riot police deployed to face them on Monday, in a third day of demonstrations after authorities acknowledged shooting down a passenger plane by accident.
Demonstrations in Iran, some met by a violent crackdown, are the latest twist in one of the most serious escalations between Washington and Tehran since Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Video showed students on Monday chanting slogans including “Clerics get lost!” outside universities in the city of Isfahan and in Tehran, where riot police were filmed taking positions on the streets.

"Figures. Meghan and Harry Are Staying at Bill Clinton’s Billionaire Pal’s Home Linked to First Uranium Scandal and Are Being Advised by the Obamas"
Bill Clinton was not content with Andrew. He has his hooks in Harry too.
It might come down to this. To save harry, the Royal Family might have to throw Andrew to the wolves. This will throw Bill Clinton to the wolves also. The Democrat Party would never forgive the Royals.
The Royals are kind of neat and although they do not have much legal power, it does not mean they are not useful or do not have much authority.
Authority if you look carefully is not designed or denoted that you necessarily have to have a lot of legal or military power. I was impressed that the Thai king put down political unrest in the 1990s by mere statement.
If the Royals do not put down The Clintons and Christopher Steels, then pimps, procurers and Intel chiefs might as well inhabit Buckingham Palace and have the carriage rides and bear skinned guards.
Most people on the right would rather see the Queen outlive Charles. Fact. Take a poll. Charles is weak. It is time Charles grew a spine and protected his.
It is either the Royals or the Clintons. Charles must fight.
