"Donald Trump has said the US will take very strong action against Iran if the regime starts to execute people as part of their crackdown on the spiralling protests inside the country. Trump told CBS News: When they start killing thousands of people and now you're telling me about hanging. We'll see how that's going to work out for them."
"Increasingly credible reports have emerged that thousands of people had been killed in the protests. The reports range from 2,000 to as many as 20,000, according to two CBS sources citing medical records from hospitals. The Iranian regime has not provided any official numbers. In other developments: The US state department has said US citizens should leave Iran now and if safe to do so, consider departing Iran by land to Armenia or Turkiye."

He warned the U.S. would take very strong action if the Iranian regime executes protesters and suggested military options could follow while urging Iranians to continue protesting.
