Antigovernment protests erupted again in Iran on Wednesday. Unlike previous marches against the rigged June 12 elections, this one was focused as much on President Obama as it was on the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Thousands of young people took to the streets in many cities, using the 30th anniversary of the United States Embassy takeover to keep their “green movement” alive. (Many marchers were hit with orange-colored paintballs by police, who likely didn’t want to openly kill the many women in the crowds.)
But in a new phenomenon, demonstrators chanted to Mr. Obama: “Either you’re with them [the ruling Muslim clerics], or with us.”
