President Trump commented on the Iranian people's uprising against the country's ruling regime, according to a post shared on X. Trump said the regime has killed close to 65,000 protesters and claimed it "is getting weaker and weaker by the day." He predicted authorities would soon lose the ability to suppress dissent through force, saying "the people aren't going to take it" much longer. The remarks add to Trump's long-standing rhetoric casting Iran's government as a brutal and unstable terrorist regime facing mounting internal resistance. No independent verification of the casualty figure cited by Trump was provided in the post. The comments come amid heightened global attention on unrest inside Iran and Tehran's confrontations with the West and Israel.
