Thousands of people have poured into the streets in Tehran, the capital of Iran.
Modern.az reports that images of large crowds gathering in various parts of the city have spread on social networks.
The footage shows mass marches and slogans continuing during the night hours.
Against this backdrop, US President Donald Trump addressed the protesters in Iran. He advised Iranian protesters to continue their actions and to remember the names of those involved in violence. Trump stated that protesters should, if possible, take control over state institutions and document the identities of those who commit violence against them.
The US president noted that he had heard different figures regarding the number of fatalities in Iran. According to him, whatever the numbers, even the death of one person is unacceptable. Trump added that if the disseminated information is true, Iranians are being treated with extreme cruelty.
In his speech, Trump, using the phrase “Let's make Iran great again,” stated that Iran was once a powerful country and that the current situation was caused by “forces that seized the regime.” According to him, the events are at a very sensitive stage, and these processes could pose a threat not only to Iran but on a broader scale.
