Iran protesters emboldened by Trump admin’s Persian messaging after Obama-Biden inaction, activists say
AI Summary
Amid ongoing protests in Iran, the U.S. State Department has amplified its Persian-language messaging, echoing President Trump's warnings to Tehran against violently suppressing demonstrators. The State Department's account, @USABehFarsi, issued a stark warning to Iran's leaders, highlighting Trump's decisiveness. Activists say this forceful approach contrasts with the Obama-Biden administration's perceived inaction during past Iranian protests, and has emboldened Iranian protesters both domestically and abroad. Protesters in Iran have reportedly taken control of streets in some areas, chanting slogans against Supreme Leader Khamenei. The State Department maintains that any alternative to the current regime will emerge from within Iran, with Iranians choosing their own leaders.
