Khamenei: Iranians Destroying Their Streets to Please Trump

After 13 days of protests in the streets of Tehran and other major cities in Iran, the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, attacked the protesters today, accusing them of destroying their own cities to please Donald Trump. The crowd responded with cheers, chanting: “Death to America!” Khamenei called on the American president to deal with the problems he has in his country, while appealing to the Iranian people to maintain unity. At the same time, he warned that the Islamic Republic would not tolerate foreign mercenaries.
