U.S. President Donald Trump called Monday on Truth Social for Iran’s leadership to be tried for crimes against humanity.
Trump formally described Iran as a failed state and argued that the country’s leadership was in complete disarray.
Trump claimed that Iran had no navy, air force or currency, and alleged that all that remained in the country was fake news in the United States and a desire to kill protesters.
Trump also claimed that more than 100,000 protesters had been killed in the protests in Iran. The figure concerning deaths among protesters has not been independently verified.
