US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Iranians were unable to overthrow their rulers during January protests because many of those who protested were killed, Iran International reports.
“They’ve hurt their people. They killed 54,000 people as of now that were protesting,” Trump said at a NATO summit in Ankara.
“You know, when people say, how come they haven’t taken over? They can’t take over because they’re dead. They killed them,” he added.
Trump said protesters had no weapons while Iran’s security forces had machine guns, accusing the Islamic Republic of killing people and criticizing the media for their inadequate reporting.
