Iran
Rising is a book authored by Amin Saikal in August 2018. The book commences by citing
a brief description of the uprising of December 2017 in the capital, as well as
some other cities of Iran. As Donald Trump was the US president at the time, he
welcomed the uprising and stated full support of the United States. Although
Trump did not do anything else besides his gesture of support, the
representative of Iran in the United Nations condemned him and called it an
interference in Iranian domestic issues. This gave the government of Iran a
good excuse to crush the demonstrations by calling it a foreign-led uprising.
