"- Rouhani called out Donald Trump on Monday after a series of tweets from the US President in support of the protests.

- Russia weighed in Monday, saying the demonstrations are an "internal affair" for Iran and external interference is unacceptable.

)
- US Vice President Mike Pence tweeted support for protesters Monday, saying "We will not let them down."

yeah sure. Like before.
