Iran protests prompt new Trump warning over deadly government crackdowns
AI Summary
Amid ongoing anti-government protests in Iran, former President Donald Trump warned that the country would "get hit very hard" by the United States if it repeats past deadly crackdowns on demonstrators. The protests, occurring in at least 78 cities, are driven by demands to end the current regime. According to Human Rights Activists in Iran (HRAI), at least 20 people, including children, have been killed and nearly 1,000 arrested by Iranian security forces. Experts suggest Trump's warning could embolden protesters, especially given his past actions against Iran, such as the killing of General Qassem Soleimani. Some Iranians feel abandoned by previous administrations' approaches to the regime and view Trump's stance as credible support for their demands for change.
