Trump tweets: US is watching Iran protests closely for human rights violations
United States President Donald Trump tweeted on Sunday expressing his support of the Iranian protests and saying that the US is watching closely for any human rights violations.
Big protests in Iran. The people are finally getting wise as to how their money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism. Looks like they will not take it any longer. The USA is watching very closely for human rights violations!

Trump has been tweeting his support for an ongoing popular uprising across Iran and shared a video of his United Nations speech earlier this year to make his point.
“The entire world understands that the good people of Iran want change, and, other than the vast military power of the United States, that Iran’s people are what their leaders fear the most,” Trump tweeted.

He also added in his video which showed his UN speech: “That is what causes the regime to restrict internet access, tear down satellite dishes, shoot unarmed student protesters and imprison political reformers”.
