Now some Iranian people are calling for the Ayatollah Khameini to step down\u2026. like that will ever happen. Yes, arrests have been made.

From the article:\u00a0 The incident raised questions about why Iran did not shut down its international airport or airspace the day it was on alert for U.S. military retaliation.<\/p>\n

The shootdown and the lack of transparency around it has\u00a0reignited anger in Iran<\/a>\u00a0at the country\u2019s leadership. Online videos appeared to show security forces firing live ammunition and tear gas to disperse protests in the streets.<\/p>\n

Also Tuesday, Iran\u2019s judiciary said that 30 people had been detained in the protests, and that some were released, without elaborating further. An Iranian film director who\u2019d called for protests in Tehran\u2019s Azadi, or Freedom, Square is among those released. \u2013 article<\/p>\n
