“President Donald Trump's administration backed anti-government protesters in Iran Tuesday, seizing an opportunity to criticize not just a foreign government that the White House has framed as a chief foe but also the administration of Barack Obama.
Trump tweeted that “the U.S. is watching” the ongoing anti-government demonstrations across Iran, blaming the nuclear deal struck with the support of former President Obama for lining the pockets of the Iranian government.
“The people of Iran are finally acting against the brutal and corrupt Iranian regime. All of the money that President Obama so foolishly gave them went into terrorism and into their ‘pockets,’” the president wrote on Twitter. “The people have little food, big inflation and no human rights. The U.S. is watching!”
Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said the U.S. would call for emergency sessions of the United Nations security and human rights councils in New York and Geneva, respectively, to address the Iranian government’s crackdown on protesters. She said the Islamic Republic’s suggestion that the protests had been fueled by outside influences was “complete nonsense.”
