Iranwire – At 09:43 am on Tuesday, January 13, American President Donald Trump wrote:“Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING – TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY. MIGA!!! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP”
Trump’s strongly worded message of support for Iranian protesters is radically different from the policies of previous US presidents who avoided direct support of protests in Iran. Writing on his Truth Social platform amid continuing unrest in Iran, Trump framed his remarks as a call for accountability and justice for citizens facing violence and intimidation.
In a separate Truth Social post published earlier, Trump also signaled his readiness to apply economic pressure on Tehran, writing: “Effective immediately, any Country doing business with the Islamic Republic of Iran will pay a Tariff of 25% on any and all business being done with the United States of America.” The message underscored his long-standing belief that firm economic measures are necessary to curb abuses by Iranian authorities and to support those demanding political change.
Trump’s latest comments come amid widespread protests across Iran and mounting allegations of lethal force being used against demonstrators.
His language frames the protests as a legitimate civic movement and emphasizes his view that those responsible for violence must ultimately be held accountable, reinforcing his image as a vocal international supporter of Iranian protesters and a proponent of tougher measures against Tehran.
