The situation in Iran has spiraled out of control, and amidst the verbal war between Trump and Khamenei, 5,000 people have died so far

US President Donald Trump has once again threatened Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Trump claims he will overthrow Khamenei’s 37-year rule. Trump said that the time has come for new leadership in Iran.

More than 5,000 deaths have been reported in the violent protests in Iran. Bodies are piling up outside morgues in Tehran. Arson is being reported in most Iranian provinces.

Trump said on Saturday, “The best decision Khamenei has made so far was not executing more than 800 people.” Trump says that the Iranian government is running on violence and repression. Khamenei has completely destroyed Iran. The violence in Iran is due to him.

What did Trump say?
Trump said, “The leadership of a country should focus entirely on the country itself, like in America. It shouldn’t be about killing thousands of people to maintain control. Leadership is about respect, not fear and death.”

Calling Khamenei a “sick man,” Trump says that under his leadership, Iran has become worse than hell. There is no worse place in the world.

Khamenei had targeted Trump
Trump retaliated against Khamenei’s statement. Khamenei had said that he had thwarted the conspiracies in Iran. He blamed Trump for all the deaths. Khamenei called US President Donald Trump a criminal responsible for the protests in Iran and the deaths, damage, and disgrace that occurred during them.

More than 3,000 deaths in Iran
According to HRANA, a news agency associated with human rights activists in the US, a total of more than 5,000 people have died during the protests in Iran. These include mostly protesters, as well as more than 200 security personnel and other government employees.

More than 10,000 people have been arrested, but the exact number has not yet been released. This death toll is higher than the number of people killed during the Islamic Revolution of 1979.
