Tehran Tightens The Noose: Protester To Be Hanged, Trump Threatens Action
US President Donald Trump has encouraged Iranians to keep protesting, saying, 'Help is on its way," amid a bloody crackdown, which, according to activists, claimed at least 2,000 lives. The US leader also warned the theocratic regime in Tehran against executing protesters, saying the US would take "very strong action" against Iran if its authorities go ahead with the threatened hangings.
Iran is reportedly set to execute its first protester today, following mass arrests in connection with the widespread anti-regime demonstrations. Erfan Soltani, 26, who was arrested last week during the protests in Karaj near the capital, Tehran, is scheduled to be hanged without getting a proper trial, according to human rights groups.
