US President Donald Trump has expressed support for Iranians participating in the protests that have erupted in the country.
He wrote about this on his social network Truth Social.
“Patriots of Iran, continue to protest, seize your institutions,” he urged.
The US president said he had canceled all meetings with Iranian officials and stressed that aid for the protesters was on the way.
“Write down the names of the murderers and rapists. They will pay a high price,” he added.
As Reuters notes , about 2,000 people have already died in Iran. According to the American human rights group HRANA, 1,850 of them were identified protesters.
As is known,a wave of mass protests has erupted in Iran, caused by the rapid fall of the national currency and the worsening economic crisis . Against the backdrop of the collapse of the Iranian rial, the ayatollah regime is increasingly losing control of the situation, which is causing open resistance in various regions of the country.
Subsequently, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei prepared a plan to flee the country in case anti-government protests escalated and control over the security forces was lost.
On the eve, Trump said that the United States could intervene in Iran’s internal affairs if peaceful protests were brutally suppressed. He stressed that the United States is ready to support the demonstrators if the Iranian authorities use lethal force.
