US withdrawing troops from key Middle East bases as Iran threatens retaliation if they are attacked
""Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!""
""I have canceled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY.""
""It would seem to me that they have been badly misbehaving, but that is not confirmed.""
""a lot of martyrs""
The nationwide protests in Iran have resulted in at least 2,571 deaths, reported by the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency. The group said 2,403 of the dead were protesters, 147 were government-affiliated, 12 were children, and nine were civilians not taking part in protests; more than 18,100 people have been detained. Iranian state TV quoted an official saying the country had "a lot of martyrs". The demonstrations began in late December over the economy and expanded to target the theocracy and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. US President Donald Trump announced cancellation of meetings with Iranian officials, urged continued protest, and said authorities awaited accurate casualty figures before acting.
