Iran’s Supreme Leader Blames Trump for Violence During Protests
Khamenei links US actions to unrest
ISTANBUL — Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said on Friday that former US President Donald Trump bears responsibility for the recent deaths and property damage during large-scale protests across the country.
Khamenei’s remarks came amid escalating tensions between Iran and the United States, as anti-government demonstrations have spread across several cities in recent weeks.
Protests spark international concern
The unrest, driven by social and political grievances, has intensified diplomatic strains with Washington. Khamenei accused foreign actors, particularly the US, of fueling instability in the country.
He described the violence as a direct consequence of external interference, asserting that foreign support for protesters contributed to the loss of life and widespread destruction.
Calls for national unity
In response to the unrest, Khamenei urged Iranian citizens to remain united and reject foreign influence. He emphasized that maintaining internal stability is essential to protecting the nation against external manipulation.
