Trump, speaking with reporters at Andrews Air Force Base, noted: “I have a clear understanding of what will be done. We need to make a decision, but I cannot talk about it.” He also urged Iranian authorities to show mercy to the protesters, stating: “They have serious problems. I hope they do not start killing people... I think their actions are extremely unacceptable, although this is not confirmed.”
Over the weekend, Trump’s special envoy, Steve Whitkoff, met with Prince Reza Pahlavi, the heir to the Shah's dynasty of Iran, to discuss the current situation with the protests in the country. This was reported by Axios, citing a senior U.S. official.
Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, in turn, stated that the authorities in the country are controlling the situation with the protests. He also noted that Tehran has substantial evidence of the connection between the U.S. and Israel with the recent terrorist acts in Iran.
