Washington: US President Donald Trump has assured that support is forthcoming for the people of Iran, urging them to continue their protests and take control of their institutions.
In a statement posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump emphasized that the names of those involved in the killing and violent suppression of protesters will be recorded and held accountable, warning that they would face severe consequences.
Trump further announced that all meetings with Iranian officials are suspended until the senseless killings of protesters cease.
Iran has been gripped by violent anti-government demonstrations, which have so far resulted in over 200 deaths. The Iranian government has accused the United States and Israel of fomenting unrest.
Meanwhile, exiled former Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, a prominent critic of the Islamic Republic, stated that he is preparing to return to Iran and stand with the people during the “victory of the national revolution.”
Earlier, President Donald Trump announced that any country conducting trade with Iran would face a 25% tariff on all dealings with the United States, intensifying economic pressure as Iran grapples with its largest anti-government protests in decades.
“Effective immediately, any nation engaging with the Islamic Republic of Iran will incur a 25% tariff on all trade with the United States,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, declaring the order “final and binding.”
Under this directive, US importers of goods from these countries would bear the cost. Iran, already subject to extensive sanctions, could face even deeper economic isolation.
