Khamenei regime called protesters terrorists
Statements are also coming from America in support of the Iranian protesters. President Donald Trump has repeatedly warned that if shots are fired at protesters, a strong response will be given.

Not only this, the Khamenei government has even called the protesters terrorists.
Trump has again threatened
US President Donald Trump, while speaking to reporters on Sunday, launched a sharp attack on the regime led by Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Trump claimed that the leaders of Iran, who are battling massive anti-government protests in the country, have all contacted him for talks.
Preparations for a meeting are underway for this. However, he clearly warned that we may have to take action even before the meeting. Responding to questions about possible retaliation by Iran or its allies, Trump said that if they do, we will punish them on a level they have never done before.
