US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has warned Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, that if Iranian officials continue to kill or injure protesters, President Donald Trump may finally take deadly action.
Graham stated his unwavering support for the Iranian people during his interview on Fox News on Tuesday night, implying that the US supported them as they took to the streets across the nation to protest the deteriorating economic conditions.
During the Iranian authorities’ interview, he was extremely harsh and called Khamenei a “religious Nazi.” “To the people of Iran: we stand with you tonight, we stand for you taking your country back from the Ayatollah, a religious Nazi who kills his own people and terrorizes the world.” Graham said during his presence on the Sean Hannity show.
“If you keep killing your people who are just asking for a new and better life, then it will be Donald J. Trump’s killing,” stated Graham, who was already addressing Iran’s supreme leader.
Graham who was already turning his comments to Iran’s supreme leader then said, “If you keep killing your people who are just asking for a new and better life, then it will be Donald J. Trump’s killing.”
He also assured the Iranian people that “help is on the way.” The demonstrations that are now going on in Iran began on December 28 following the terrible devaluation of the rial, which is Iran’s currency, against the US dollar. After that protests erupted throughout the country and in some places they turned violent resulting in clashes with the security forces.
According to reports from the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency, 39 people have been killed and nearly 2,000 arrested. According to activists, Wednesday was likely one of the largest days of protests this year, with at least 37 demonstrations taking place in several cities, as reported by the Associated Press.
Graham’s statement came at a time when Washington and Tehran were already exchanging heated words. President Trump had earlier threatened that if the Iranian demonstrators were “shot” again, the US would take action.
