LONDON  Shortly after President Donald Trump threatened to erase the “whole civilization” of Iran, all 6,000 years of it, the crowds came out into the streets of Tehran waving flags  and not white ones. 
They bore the green, white and red banners of the still-standing Islamic Republic. 
Some set fire to the star-spangled ones of the superpower that, according to state media, they had just “humiliated.”
