President Donald Trump in an early morning Twitter post on Sunday called on Iranian leaders to halt a crackdown on protesters.

“To the leaders of Iran - DO NOT KILL YOUR PROTESTERS. Thousands have already been killed or imprisoned by you, and the World is watching. More importantly, the USA is watching. Turn your internet back on and let reporters roam free!” Trump wrote.
