Trump also urged protestors to “take over institutions” in a clear message of backing protestors, who have been protesting against regime. “Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING — TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS,” Trump said in his social media post, adding “HELP IS ON ITS WAY”.
About 2,000 people, including security personnel, have already been killed in protests in Iran after around two weeks of nationwide unrest, which sparked with falling currency value.The fresh attack of the US President on the Iranian government came after Trump on Monday announced 25% import tariffs on products from any country doing business with Iran. Trump has also said more military action is among options he is weighing to punish Iran over the crackdown, saying earlier this month “we are locked and loaded”.
