Iran’s Supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei, on Saturday, held US President Donald Trump responsible for inflicting casualties, damage, and slander on Iranians during the protests, and described him as a ‘criminal’ as the death toll in the nation crossed 3000, as per records by a rights group.
Khamenei further warned that his government “will not let domestic or international criminals go unpunished.” He claimed ‘those linked to Israel and US caused massive damages and killed several thousands’ in protests.
Iran has been roiled by anti-government protests calling for the ouster of Ayatollah Khameni-led government — during which over 3,000 people were killed, activists said on Saturday. Meanwhile, some reports claimed that the protest-hit country saw a “very slight rise” in internet activity after an eight-day blackout.
“The latest anti-Iran sedition was different in that the US President personally became involved,” Iranian media quoted Khamenei as saying, reported Reuters.
