Violent protests and dozens of deaths in Iran, Trump reacts: We will be there

US President Donald Trump declared on Saturday that Iranians are "seeing freedom" as protests continue to spread across Iran, adding that Washington is ready to offer support.

“Iran is seeing FREEDOM, perhaps like never before,” Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social. “The US stands ready to help!”

Iran has been experiencing a wave of protests since late December, largely due to the sharp decline in the value of the Iranian rial and worsening economic conditions. The demonstrations began on December 28 near Tehran's Grand Bazaar and later spread to several other cities.

On Friday, Trump said Iran was "in big trouble" as unrest escalated, stressing that Washington was closely monitoring developments and warning authorities against using deadly force against protesters.

For its part, Iran has accused the US and Israel of fomenting unrest, while officials warn that security forces and the judiciary "will show no tolerance towards saboteurs."
