This past weekend saw groups of protesters take to the streets of Iran, calling for political, social and economic reform. Where are the voices from outside of Iran offering support?

Opinions from the right:

1. Women are leading in Iran. Where is their voice of support from the left?

From Fox News: Iranian women area risking their lives to fight for equality. Where are voices from the left to support them?

2. With the new protests in Iran, this is no time for the West to stay quiet 

From the New York Post: Some on the left say we should do nothing in light of the protest. That advice could not be more wrong.

3. Trump Reverses the Obama Doctrine on Iran

From The National Review: Unlike President Barack Obama, Trump will not abdicate our responsibilities around the globe.
