President Donald Trump and his administration voiced support on Friday for protests in Iran and condemned the arrest of peaceful protesters.

“Many reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with regime’s corruption and its squandering of the nation’s wealth to fund terrorism abroad,” Trump wrote on Twitter on Friday evening, Dec. 29. “Iranian govt should respect their people’s rights, including right to express themselves. The world is watching! ”
