President Donald Trump has encouraged Iranian protesters to continue their uprising against the regime, as the death toll surpasses 2,000, with many victims being under 30. In a speech in Detroit, Trump expressed support for the demonstrators, urging them to take over institutions and warned that their oppressors would face consequences. The protests, sparked by economic grievances, have escalated, leading to severe crackdowns, including death sentences for some participants.
