In a recent news briefing, President Trump claimed that 32,000 people were killed during the protests in Iran, a figure significantly higher than previously reported. He expressed support for the Iranian people, distinguishing them from their leaders, and warned the Iranian government against public executions, threatening immediate military action. Trump also mentioned the possibility of a limited military strike as U.S. forces build up in the region to pressure Iran regarding its nuclear program.
