It's like 7 pm there, now.
Wonder when we'll get the
true scope of what is going

I wish them all the best.

and the past 7 nights, yelling from rooftops 'Allah o Akbar' and 'ya Hossein'
The chant “ya Hossein” is said in respect to the third Shia Imam, Imam Hossein, who is the iconic tragic figure of the Shia religion. “Ya Hossein” is chanted in order to bring attention to injustice by Shias.
Allah o Akbar means 'God is Great'

They are calling for the death
of their Supreme Leader.
Might get interesting.
