Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei released statements on Friday implicating President Donald Trump in Iran’s recent violent protests. Crowds of people in Tehran and other cities destroyed buildings to please Trump, Khamenei said. Rioters put their hopes in Trump, but he can’t even manage his own country, according to a separate statement. Khamenei also accused Trump of being responsible for over 1,000 Iranian deaths, citing his role in Iran’s 12-day war with Israel last year.
The 86-year-old Khamenei also hinted at a firm crackdown against protesters, insisting that Iranian leaders won’t back down against people causing destruction. Khamenei claimed Iran’s enemies didn’t know what they were up against, adding that Iran had more equipment and weapons than ever. God will bring victory to all Iranians very soon, he insisted.
What’s going on with protests? Friday marked nearly two weeks since protests broke out across Iran over rising inflation costs. Despite the regime’s attempt to shut down the country’s internet access, videos of newly formed protests continue to appear on social media.
The Human Rights Activists News Agency, a U.S.-based monitoring group, reported protests happening in 46 cities across 21 provinces in a Thursday release. Swaths of strikes and market closures were also reported at the same time, specifically within Kurdish regions.
