IRANIANS: MEET THE ENEMY: PART 1

A photo essay of the Iranian people. These are the folk of Tehran, one of the cleanest and most beautiful cities in the world.  Ask yourself, why are these people being demonized? This collection of photos may take two parts because I collected so many of just ordinary Iranians living their lives on the streets of Tehran. Please enjoy.THEN convince yourself that this is the enemy.

Compare these off duty soldiers to those of the IDF. No swagger, no weapons in public. Just brandishing ice cream cones.
