Trump Urges Iranians to Keep Up Protests Amid Crackdown

Trump Urges Iranians to Keep Up Protests Amid Crackdown

In a statement, President Donald Trump expressed support for the ongoing protests in Iran and urged the Iranian people to continue their demonstrations against the government led by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Trump indicated that he would closely monitor the situation and "act accordingly" once he has a better understanding of the number of protesters who have been killed during the crackdown. The protests, which began over economic grievances, have expanded to include broader criticisms of the Iranian regime and calls for political change. While the Trump administration has condemned the violent response of Iranian authorities, it remains to be seen what specific actions the U.S. might take in response to the ongoing unrest in the country.
