Donald Trump commented on the protests in Iran, expressing uncertainty about the exact number of deaths but estimating a clearer picture will emerge within 24 hours. He also called on American citizens in Iran to leave, stating it wouldn't be a bad idea for them to return home. Trump reiterated his support for the protesters, urging them to continue their demonstrations against the regime of Ali Khamenei and announcing he has canceled meetings with Iranian officials until the violence stops.
