As we've been reporting, President Trump has encouraged Iranians to continue protesting, telling them "HELP IS ON ITS WAY". It comes after he pledged to intervene if Iranians were killed in the protests.

Iran's security forces have cracked down hard in recent days, and the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency says at least 1,847 protesters have been killed since the demonstrations began on 28 December, warning the death toll could be far higher.

Responding to Trump on X, Ali Larijani, Secretary of the National Security Council and a senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wrote: "We announce the names of the main murderers of the Iranian people: 1- Trump 2- Netanyahu."

This is not the first time Larijani has responded to Trump on social media.

7. My pessimistic thoughts...

Tell me the fascist pig will bomb Iran and then threaten Minneapolis, "You're next." Protests in the streets will turn to violence and martial law will be declared in Minnesota. A testing ground for the rest of the country before the midterms.

My optimistic thoughts are the fascist pig will be dead by the end of the week.
