"Trump is still conferring with officials about the action he could take. But his words imply he will not be content with further economic pressure. The US state department issued a warning Tuesday to US citizens currently in the country: Leave Iran now. The US virtual embassy for Iran says citizens should have a plan for departing that does not rely on US government help and if safe to do so, consider departing Iran by land to Armenia or Turkiye."
"Iranian Patriots, keep protesting take over your institutions!!! help is on the way, Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Tuesday. He added that he had cancelled all meetings with Iranian officials until the senseless killing of protesters stopped. His call to keep protesting comes a day after demonstrations had apparently subsided owing to the severity of the crackdown."
Donald Trump posted on Truth Social urging Iranians to continue protesting, urging them to take over institutions and saying help was on the way.

The US State Department warned American citizens in Iran to leave immediately and advised planning departures without relying on US government assistance, including overland routes to Armenia or Turkiye. Trump warned of very strong action if authorities execute protesters. The crackdown has increased the death toll amid leaked images of morgues. The administration also moved to end TPS for Somalis.
