Trump Urges Iranian Protesters to Continue Demonstrations, Promises Aid

Former US President Donald Trump has called on Iranian protesters to continue their demonstrations, promising American assistance. In a social media post, he described the protesters as “Iranian Patriots” and urged them to take control of their country’s institutions. Trump threatened retaliation against “murderers and abusers” and canceled meetings with Iranian officials until the suppression of protests stops. Meanwhile, a White House spokesperson stated that Trump is not afraid to use military options against Iran, while Tehran responded that it is ready for both war and negotiations, characterizing Trump’s warnings as incitement to violence. The situation remains tense with escalating rhetoric from both sides.
