""Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!... HELP IS ON ITS WAY," Trump posted on Tuesday, 13, 2026, on his Truth Social platform. However, after a week of ongoing demonstrations, help is yet to be seen. In fact, the US president has backtracked from his capital-letters pledge. He said he had been informed that the killings were subsiding and he did not believe mass executions were currently planned."
"The US-based Iranian human rights organization Human Rights Activists (HRA) posted on X that there have been 4,029 documented deaths, including over 150 security forces. More than 9,000 deaths are still being investigated. Estimates suggest that the death toll could be significantly higher. In addition to his official justification, however, Trump may also have changed his mind due to pressure from some Arab states."
A US statement urged Iranian protesters to take over institutions and promised help, but the US later backtracked, saying killings were subsiding and mass executions were not believed planned. The UN Human Rights Council will hold a special session at the request of member states, and rights groups have called for scrutiny. An Iranian rights group reported 4,029 documented deaths with over 9,000 cases under investigation and estimates of a higher toll. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and Egypt held intensive diplomatic talks with the US and urged Tehran to exercise restraint; Gulf states object to strikes for strategic reasons.
