Trump Suspends Diplomacy with Iran Due to Protesters' Shootings.

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced the suspension of diplomatic contacts with Iran

According to TSN.ua: U.S. President Donald Trump announced the suspension of diplomatic contacts with Iran in response to the suppression of anti-government protests. In his statement published on the Truth Social network, Trump called for support for the protesters who are opposing the current regime. This decision was made following brutal repressions during which an estimated minimum of 12,000 people were killed on January 8 and 9.

Trump also addressed Iranian protesters, urging them to continue their fight:

“Iranian patriots, keep protesting — seize your institutions!” - Donald Trump

He emphasized that he has canceled all meetings with Iranian officials until the 'senseless killings of protesters' stop. In his statement, Trump also noted:

“Remember the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a high price.” - Donald Trump

Additionally, it became known that Steve Witkoff held a secret meeting with the exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. Trump concluded his post with a call to action:

• “Help is on the way. MIGA!” – which stands for 'Make Iran Great Again'.

This decision by Trump underscores his support for Iranian protesters and aims to draw international attention to the situation in Iran. In the context of heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran, his actions may also impact U.S. strategic policy in the region. The suspension of diplomatic contacts indicates the seriousness of the situation and may lead to new sanctions or other measures from Washington.
