Donald Trump strongly condemned the Iranian regime for suppressing protests and mistreating demonstrators. In a speech in Detroit, he called on Iranian patriots to continue their protests and “take over your institutions,” promising that “help is on the way.” Trump criticized the Iranian regime, calling it a “monster” that had taken over a “great country.” He expressed fears that similar events could happen in the United States if he had not won the election. When asked if he had advised US allies to leave Iran, Trump replied that “I think they should get out, it’s not a bad idea.” He also threatened that those who “kill or abuse Iranian protesters” would “pay a very big price.” Trump did not provide specific details about what kind of help would be provided to Iran, but said it would be revealed soon. He also expressed frustration over the lack of accurate information about the number of protesters who have been killed.
