US President Donald Trump assessed that Iran is in crisis after the US withdrawal from the nuclear agreement and that the US supports the protests in Iran.
"There are riots in all the cities (Iran), and inflation is rising," Trump said late last night in an interview with Fox News and added that the Iranian authorities do not want their people to know that they have the support of the United States.
Trump said that the protests in Iran began when he announced in May that the US was withdrawing from the nuclear agreement with Iran signed in 2015 by six major powers - the US, Russia, France, Great Britain, Germany and China.
"There are protests all over the country, just like the riots that broke out after the US withdrawal from the agreement. We'll see what happens," Trump told American television after his first bilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki.
The US withdrawal from the nuclear agreement and the announcement of the return of sanctions on Iran led to the weakening of the Iranian currency as well as protests by Iranians.
