Iran's Khamenei blames U.S. President Trump for inciting deadly protests

Описание: Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday (January 17) blamed President Donald Trump for weeks of protests after rights groups said a violent crackdown by security forces had claimed thousands of lives.
The protests erupted on December 28 over economic hardship and swelled into widespread demonstrations calling for the end of clerical rule in the Islamic Republic.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to intervene, including promising to "take very strong action" if Iran executed protesters.
But on Friday (January 16), in a social media post, he thanked Tehran's leaders, saying they had called off mass hangings. Iran said there was "no plan to hang people."
Iran's clerical establishment blames the violence in Iran's nationwide protests on people it says are armed rioters posing as protesters, labelling them “terrorists” and saying that Israel and the U.S. were responsible for organizing them and for many of the deaths of demonstrators and security forces.
