Trump Says The Killing Of Protesters Has Stopped In Iran by TruthU87(op): 2:38pm On Jan 15
President Trump said that the Iranian government appeared to have stopped killing protesters, though he did not say what that might mean for the possibility of U.S. military action against the country.

“We’ve been told that the killing in Iran is stopping — it’s stopped — it’s stopping,” he told reporters at the White House. “And there’s no plan for executions, or an execution, or execution — so I’ve been told that on good authority.”

Mr. Trump said that he had received the information from “very important sources on the other side” and that he would “find out” later if it was accurate. He did not disclose who had provided the account.

A day earlier, Mr. Trump signaled that he was leaning toward a military strike on Iran when he wrote on social media that the protesters, whom he called “Iranian patriots,” should keep up the demonstrations and that “HELP IS ON ITS WAY.”

The Iranian government has cut off internet service across the country, and it was difficult on Wednesday to gauge to what degree the killings were still occurring. The protests appear to be smaller than they were last week.

Trump thought he could intimidate Iran, the fear of Iran's retaliation is the beginning of wisdom.

The noise maker inside the White House his now waking up from his slumber. Immediately the Iranian government are a step ahead them in their game, they have to quickly come back to their senses cheesy cheesy

The color protest is over cheesy

Starlink have been turned to normal TV antenna grin

Their military bases across the region has been mapped out and they quickly weighed their options.

Thank you Iran once again.

In other words, TACO has chickened out again. After gingering the Iranians to rebel against their government such that thousands of them lost their lives, Trump has backed out. A wimp of a president.

And for the people that are comparing Israel to Iran just by listening or watching Al Jazeera , you don loose guard.
See during the one week or so war, Israel do them woto woto. On the Israel side, the casualty was just 350, but on Iran it was 1400. Also, the Israeli were carrying out precise attack with fighter jets(na women Dey fly am o), while the Iranians were doing try and error with missiles.

Re: Trump Says The Killing Of Protesters Has Stopped In Iran by CaseSensitive(m):
Mr. Trump, you cannot bully Iran. Israel has missed the window of the regime change you both wanted in Iran. Now Netanyahu is in trouble. You pulled back because you're stuck, you pulled back because you know you can't proceed with the attack. You pulled back because Iran is actively hunting and deleting the SEE EYE HEY and Mo$$AD agents you sent there to spring up the fake and inorganic protest.

You pulled back because the Saudis and the Qataris has told you that you cannot use their base to launch attack against Iran because they know Iran will strike their oil fields and that will cause a ripple effect on global oil supply, average Americans and businesses will feel it and they will take to the street. You're not ready for the smoke Mr. Trump.

Na lie, baba dey fear nuclear weapon dropping on his ass

U see trump is a psycho whose only medication is nuclear weapon owned countries.

Iran threatened america that if they attack Iran, they will attack all American bases around Iran i.e doha, Lebanon, Israel and co thereby leading to a higher scope war and trump chickened out.

They still dey kill protesters for Iran as I type..

Trump main power is in the third world countries with American targeted resources.

Re: Trump Says The Killing Of Protesters Has Stopped In Iran by doncartel: 3:05pm On Jan 15
Trump should also kickstart negotiations with Iran government so that there can be some achievements of the protests. Human rights, gender equality, free press, genuine elections and democracy should be imposed on Iran.

The economic concerns of the masses should be handled by increasing wealth distribution among the masses and creating more jobs. Finally, the Iranian government should be ready to behave better with Israel so that Iran can be accepted back into the international community.

Oga Trump please Iran matter should wait, Nigeria is a major case please Trump. Nigeria has someone whom was convicted by FBI in Chicago as nigerian president no different with maduro former Venezuela president
Re: Trump Says The Killing Of Protesters Has Stopped In Iran by Kennitrust(m):
This Trump is not a serious man at all

Encourage people to protest, and they get killed, and now he is backing down on the promised help and assurance he gave to the people.

This people want to stop being control by sharia and that is their ultimate goal for the protest.

Maybe USA is inadvertently afraid of Iran.

Iran is too big for Trump. Iran is not Venuzuela.

He took a chill pill immediately Iran serves the statement that if they need war, that they will give them the war.

American sympathisers who would flood to attack my comment do not know that there was a signed agreement between Iran and Russia now.

As Isreal is to US, that is how Iran is to Russia now.
