Hundreds celebrate attack on Iran in Los Angeles
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Demonstrators in Los Angeles — home to the largest population of Iranians outside Iran — celebrated the attack by dancing, chanting and waving flags outside a federal building in the Westwood neighborhood.

Many in the crowd of hundreds waved the red, white and green “Lion and Sun” flag, which was the Iranian flag before the 1979 revolution brought the ayatollah to power. Others carried Israeli or American flags.

Led by an emcee, the crowd also chanted thanks to President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Some wore hats or shirts labeled “MIGA” or “Make Iran Great Again.”

About half a million Iranian Americans live in the Greater Los Angeles region. West Los Angeles in particular is home to a cultural enclave known as “Tehrangeles,” or Little Persia, featuring grocery stores, ice cream and kebab shops, restaurants, bakeries and bookstores.

5. Teherangeles

There are actually 700.000 Iranians in LA County. The largest concentration outside of Iran. ‘ Hundreds’ coming out to thank Trump and Netanyahu is no big deal.

6. I love the cropping of the photos and the prominence of Trump signs

Yes, there was a celebration and there were trump supporters there, but if YouTube video of the event is representative, it looks like a much less dense and smallish crowd interspersed with a few sign holders. I know it’s not dalton99a’s fault but the propaganda feels I get from this give me the ick.

8. No, they are mostly Iranian people that hate what the Islamic

regime did to the country. And the Shah might have sucked also but they prefer it over what they got.
