WASHINGTON Cheap Nike Air Max 90 Pinnacle Black Navy , Jan. 5 (Xinhua) -- While U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed support for demonstrators in Iran and engaged in heightened rhetoric, the United States is likely to hang back and avoid direct involvement, U.S. experts said.
"The U.S. will probably limit its involvement mainly to moral support for the protestors," David Pollock, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, told Xinhua.
Protests erupted on Dec. 28 Cheap Men's Nike Air Max 90 Ultra SE Blue , 2017, in Mashhad in north Iran, sparked by frustration over high prices of basic goods such as eggs, the price of which has recently soared by 40 percent, according to international media reports.
The unrest spread quickly over the next several days. Blue-collar Iranians also want a higher pay and a way to address the nation's widespread problem of unemployement, global media reported.
Trump took to social media earlier this week in support of the protesters Cheap Men's Nike Air Max 90 Woven Brown White , saying that Iran is "failing at every level" and that it is "time for change" in Iran.
Despite his pro-demonstrators tone, experts said the president is unlikely to go much further, with perhaps a few exceptions.
Pollock said Trump's rhetoric reflects the president's strong view of Iran as an enemy.
The protests were "not necessarily going to be historic in the grand scheme of things, and so maybe we don't want to get too carried away yet predicting what's going to happen next," said Michael O'Hanlon, a senior fellow on foreign policy at the Brookings Institution Cheap Nike Air Max 90 Leather Women's Pink White ,
Many observers are asking why protesters chose this period to demonstrate. "They want the Iranian government to turn its attention homeward," O'Hanlon gave one explanation.
Analysts argued that it would be unwise for the United States to directly involve itself in the protests.
"Given the history of past U.S. involvement in Iranian domestic politics, the best thing for the United States would be to continue to do little to intervene or directly support these protests," Dan Mahaffee, senior vice president and director of policy at the Center for the Study of Congress and the Presidency, told Xinhua.
Iran has blasted back at the U.S. stance. Iran's ambassador to the United Nations Gholamali Khoshroo slammed the U.S. government's attempts to intervene in the domestic affairs of the Islamic Republic Cheap Nike Air Max 90 KPU White , Tasnim news agency reported Thursday.
"In the past several days, the U.S. administration, led by the U.S. president, has stepped up its acts of intervention in a grotesque way in Iran's internal affairs under the pretext of providing support for sporadic protests" in the country, Khoshroo said in a Wednesday letter to the UN Security Council and to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
Khoshroo added that Iran expects all states to condemn such dangerous statements and policies and urge the U.S. government to act responsibly and adhere to the UN Charter and international law.
Hand in hand, Prince Harry and girlfriend Meghan Markle made their first official public appearance as a couple. Markle might have even left a wedding hint.
The prince and Markle held hands Monday as they walked toward Toronto’s city hall and attended a wheelchair tennis event at Harry’s Invictus Games for wounded veterans.
Markle wore a white button-down shirt with blue jeans ripped at the knee. The white shirt is called “The Husband Shirt” and is by designer Misha Nonoo.
The 36-year-old American actress recently told Vanity Fair they’re in love.
Markle Cheap Nike Air Max 90 Leather Women's White , who lives in Toronto, appeared at the games’ opening ceremony this weekend, cheering from the stands while Harry sat four rows and a section away beside U.S. first lady Melania Trump.
The couple has been photographed together in the past but this is the first time they have appeared together at an official event. The two sat together and took in a match of the wheelchair tennis between Australia and New Zealand at the small venue. Both wore dark sunglasses on an uncommonly hot sunny day for Toronto in late September.

They stayed for a half hour and shook hands with the athletes and Invictus volunteers. They left together hand in hand.
Harry, 33, has been dating Markle since last year. He confirmed the relationship in November when he complained about intrusive press coverage.
The Vanity Fair interview prompted British bet-maker Betfair to offer 6-to-4 odds that the couple is engaged by the end of 2017 and 3-to-1 odds that they marry in 2018.
Best known as paralegal Rachel Zane in the US Network legal drama Cheap Men's Nike Air Max 90 Hyperfuse Black , “Suits,” Markle has appeared on “General Hospital,” ″CSI: Miami,” ″Without A Trace” and “Castle.” She also is a campaigner for gender equality. |
