Iranians have taken to the social networking services, venting their anger at the American government trying to frame domestic economic dissatisfaction as a sign for regime change in Iran.
Furious Iranian citizens have created a “Stop Meddling in Iran” hashtag on Twitter and Instagram, chiding Secretary of State Mike Pompeo , for interference in domestic Iranian affairs and spreading lies about Iranian governnment and officials.
Pompeo has claimed in a post on his Twitter account that US “supports the proud people of Iran in their struggle for freedom, justice and respect for their human rights."
Many Iranian immigrants residing in the United States are unhappy about Donald Trump's policies against Iran, such as the US unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA, the reinstatement of sanctions and the enforcement of anti-immigration laws that make it difficult for many of them to travel to their homeland.
