IRAN CELEBRATES NEW YEAR WITH STREET PARTIES AND FIREWORKS

In a new sign of increasing liberalisation, the formerly strict Islamic state of Iran welcomed the New Year with large street parties in many cities, some of them accompanied by fireworks. 

Unfortunately, many Western news media organisations, now tragically understaffed, completely misunderstood what was going on and falsely reported demonstrations, uprisings, and riots aimed at overthrowing the entirely democratic government of President Rouhani. 

This led to awkward exchanges between US President Trump and Rouhani, after the American President tweeted his support for the revellers after mistaking them for paid colour revolution operatives of the American Deep State.

In a speech in Tehran, Rouhani hit back, saying the US president "has forgotten that he had called Iranian people 'terrorists' a few months ago."

Meanwhile in America, one policeman was killed and six others injured in what appears to be a genuine popular uprising against the Deep State controlled government of America.
