US President Donald Trump said the United States is ready to support Iranians amid nationwide protests, calling it a moment of unprecedented “freedom.” On Truth Social, he reaffirmed US backing for the demonstrators and reshared Republican leaders’ statements warning Iran against repression.
Trump cautioned that Washington is monitoring the situation closely and would respond strongly if protesters are killed, though without deploying ground troops. The protests, initially sparked by economic hardships, have spread to over 100 cities and evolved into a nationwide call to end the Islamic Republic.
Iran’s Attorney General labeled protesters as “enemies of God,” punishable by death, while exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi urged strikes and mass demonstrations, escalating tensions further.
