During a White House interview, United States President Donald Trump accused the leadership in Iran of violently suppressing citizens, claiming that tens of thousands of protesters were killed in recent weeks.
Speaking from 11:06 on the ongoing tensions and military operations in Iran, Trump emphasized the scale of the crackdown. “A week ago and two weeks ago, they killed 32,000 protesters,” he said, highlighting the severity of the Iranian government’s actions against citizens seeking political change.
The US president also described recent American military operations against Iran, claiming that Iran’s air defense, navy, and leadership had been largely neutralized. He stressed that the US was working with other countries to secure the Strait of Hormuz, which is critical for global oil transport, and that these nations should help protect the corridor due to their reliance on it.
Trump alleged that Iran’s military capabilities, including missiles and drones, had been heavily reduced and accused the Iranian government of using AI-generated content to exaggerate public support. He claimed one rally supposedly showing hundreds of thousands of supporters was fabricated entirely using artificial intelligence.
Addressing diplomacy, Trump said the US is in communication with Iran but warned that the country might not yet be ready for negotiations. He reiterated that the main goal is to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and to hold its leadership accountable for past actions against its own citizens.
The president’s comments reinforce the United States’ stance on Iran’s internal unrest, framing the situation as both a humanitarian concern and a strategic security issue. Read_More…
