Update: With somewhat fascinating timing, perhaps nudged by The CIA, President Trump just tweeted his support for the people of Iran:

While confusion and skepticism remains high towards the 'progress' of both sides in Iran, it appears the government is pushing back hard today as State TV broadcasts images of 1000s of Iranians taking part in pro-government rallies and the Revolutionary Guard declaring the protests are over.

With about 20 dead, including several policemen, since Iran's protests broke out last week, today appears to be a full court press from the establishment to quell the latest uprising.

As Bloomberg reports, Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards Corps declared an end to the unrest that has roiled the Islamic Republic over the past week.
