Iran's Khamenei blames Trump for inciting deadly protests

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChLtXXpo4Ge1ReTEboVvTDg https://ift.tt/yJFw6XT Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has 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 Dec. 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, in a social media post, the Republican thanked Tehran's leaders, saying they had called off mass hangings. Iran, however, 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.
