Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Saturday that "rioters must be put in their place," after US President Donald Trump's announcement on Friday that Washington would “come to their rescue” if Tehran “violently kills peaceful protesters.”
Khamenei's comments come as 10 people have already died in the protests sparked by Iran’s struggling economy, the largest since those over the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022.
