"Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, accused US President Donald Trump of being responsible for "casualties" during protests in Iran that were met with a deadly crackdown. According to human rights groups, more than 3,000 people have been killed. "We hold the American president guilty for the casualties, damages and accusations he has levelled against the Iranian nation," he told a crowd of supporters on Saturday during an address marking a religious holiday."
""This was an American conspiracy," Khamenei said, adding that "America's goal is to swallow Iran... the goal is to put Iran back under military, political and economic domination," he added. During the protests, Trump repeatedly suggested that the US might take military action against Iran if its government triggered widespread killings. Those protests have since died down."
