Trump Criticizes Iran’s Crackdown on Protesters Amid US Reward List Error

US President Donald Trump wrote on the Truth social platform that the Islamic Republic of Iran is failing to pay the salaries of large sections of its military while simultaneously killing protesters on a scale not seen before. Trump described the situation as a massive humanitarian crisis and demanded it be stopped immediately. These remarks coincide with the Trump administration's intensifying economic pressure on Tehran; US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently announced an 'economic ostracization' operation aimed at cutting off the regime's and the IRGC's remaining revenue sources.
