Iran deploys riot police as backlash against government growsProtests across country as media outlets join outcry at shooting down of Ukrainian jet Yes but the US just assassinated the moral equivalent of Gandhi didn't they? Arlywydd yr UD Donald Trump 'I'r bobl ddewr a dioddefus o Iran: rwyf wedi sefyll gyda chi ers dechrau fy arlywyddiaeth a bydd fy llywodraeth yn parhau i sefyll gyda chi. Rydym yn dilyn eich protestiadau yn agos. Mae eich dewrder yn ysbrydoledig.' I totally believe Ukraine that Iran never would have admitted to shooting down the plane if they could have hidden the wreckage fast enough.
