Trump addressed Iranian protesters
Trump urged people to continue protests in Iran and said that help is on the way
Iranian patriots, KEEP PROTESTING — CAPTURE YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Remember the names of the murderers and rapists. They will pay a high price. I have canceled all meetings with Iranian officials until the senseless killings of protesters stop. HELP IS COMING.
Donald Trump
President of the United States
In addition, the American leader promised that he would help the Iranian people make their country "great again."
It is also worth noting that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz predicts the rapid fall of the Iranian regime in the coming days:
If a regime can only hold on to power through violence, then it is effectively finished. I believe we are now witnessing the last days and weeks of this regime.
According to law enforcement officials, several hundred civilians have already been killed in the crackdown on protests in Iran.
