Comments of the US President on the situation in Iran
US President Donald Trump commented on the situation in Iran, where at least 1850 people have reportedly died since the beginning of the December unrest. He expressed hope for receiving a report on the number of casualties in the country, as the situation continues to escalate. Trump emphasized that the killing looks serious, but noted that there is currently no confirmation of these figures.
“I will find out in 20 minutes. We will act accordingly,” he stated.
Additionally, since the beginning of the December protests in Iran, over 16,700 arrests have been recorded. In this regard, the US embassy in Iran urged American citizens to leave the country immediately. The situation in Iran is complicated by disruptions in public transportation and internet outages, further exacerbating tension in the region.
Senator's opinion and international community's reaction
Trump also pointed out that, in his opinion, the Iranian authorities 'have behaved very badly,' although this has not yet been confirmed. In the context of the situation in Iran, Senator Lindsey Graham referred to it as 'the Hitler of our time.'
The situation in Iran continues to remain critical, and the international community is closely monitoring the developments. The rising number of casualties and arrests indicates an escalation of protests triggered by social and political issues in the country. The US reaction, particularly calls for the evacuation of its citizens, underscores the seriousness of the situation and potential consequences for regional stability.
