Donald Trump, the President of the United States, in his latest response to the widespread protests in Iran, once again claimed that "aid for Iranian patriots is on the way" and emphasized that he has canceled all meetings of American officials with the authorities of the Islamic Republic until the "meaningless slaughter" stops.

He also referred to the internal situation in Iran, stating: "Iran was a great country until these monsters seized it" and said that the current conditions are "very fragile."

In remarks directed at Iranian protesters, Trump said, "Continue your protests" and if they can, "take back your institutions." He also urged protesters to "record the names of the perpetrators of repression and slaughter," as he stated, "they will pay a heavy price."

In another part of his remarks, Trump announced that tariffs on companies that trade with Iran have been implemented as of today and added: "I have just one sentence for them: aid is on the way."
