US President Donald Trump on Tuesday urged Iranians to continue nationwide protests, saying “help is on the way” as Washington weighs tough action against Tehran over the deadly crackdown. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Iranian patriots, keep protesting – take over your institutions,” and said he had cancelled talks with Iranian officials until the killings stop. He claimed Iran’s leaders had recently reached out “to negotiate”, but warned the US “may have to act before a meeting”.
