Iran Cuts off Internet as Protests for Regime Change Intensify

Mass anti-government protests are growing across Iran where demonstrators have taken to the streets to demand a regime change. Now authorities are trying to stifle the unrest by shutting down the internet nationwide, making it harder for protesters to organize and get their message to the world. It comes as President Donald Trump is warning the U.S. could intervene on the side of the demonstrations. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei responded that Trump should focus on problems in his own country and claimed the demonstrators are being stoked from abroad.
