Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price,\u201d Trump said on his website, Truth Social.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY. MIGA!!! [MAGA]\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump has threatened Iran with military strikes in the past as a means of pressuring Tehran into greater alignment with US demands, and has said during the last week that a harsh response by Iranian authorities to the country\u2019s protesters could result in US attacks. The US president announced on Monday that any country doing business with Iran would be subject to a 25 percent tariff.<\/p>\n<p>Asked by reporters on Tuesday what he meant when he said \u201chelp is on the way\u201d, Trump declined to share specifics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re going to have to figure that one out. I\u2019m sorry,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts have warned that US strikes, which would likely violate international law, could have unforeseen consequences in Iran, currently facing the largest protest movement in years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Iranian people are caught between a repressive regime and foreign aggression,\u201d\u00a0Ali Vaez, director of the Iran Project at the International Crisis Group, told Al Jazeera in a TV interview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the president decides to do political decapitation in Iran, what comes after? There\u2019s no organised, viable opposition inside Iran that can take over immediately. So the more likely scenario is that more repressive elements within the Revolutionary Guard will take over. If he [Trump] creates a total vacuum at the top of the Iranian system, then the country might descend into violent chaos and civil strife in the way that we saw in Libya, or in Syria, or in Yemen, or in Iraq,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Human rights groups based outside Iran have said hundreds of people have been killed during the protests, while state media said more than\u00a0100 security personnel have been killed. Al Jazeera cannot independently verify these figures, while an internet blackout in Iran has restricted the flow of information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump declares \u2018help is on the way\u2019 for Iranian protesters, as calls for action against regime intensify.
