Trump: Iran 'Yearns for Freedom' - US 'Ready to Help'

Donald Trump has expressed his support for the protest movement in Iran, stating that the Iranian people 'yearn for freedom' and that the United States is 'ready to help'. This statement comes amid a period of intense protests against the regime in Iran, which have raised fears of violent suppression. Iranian authorities have indicated they may intensify the crackdown, accusing protesters of terrorism. Reports of unrest are emerging from multiple cities across Iran, but internet access is restricted, making it difficult to assess the situation fully. Independent sources report at least 50 protesters and 15 security personnel have been killed, and approximately 2,300 people have been arrested.
