Trump cancels meetings with Iranian officials and tells protesters ‘help is on its way’

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump canceled meetings with Iranian officials, ending planned diplomatic engagement amid escalating unrest.
  • Amid the largest anti-government protests in 15 years, Iran faces heavy casualties with 2,000 people reportedly killed after a violent crackdown, analysts warn.
  • Posting on Truth Social, Trump promised assistance to Iranian citizens but did not specify what that `help` would entail.
  • Such intervention risks retaliation given Iran's missile capabilities and regional reach, as analysts warn U.S. intervention could spell the end of the Iranian regime and complicate handling its nuclear programme.
  • Past strikes on Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan left the nuclear picture murky, as Israel and the United States bombed these sites in a 12-day war killing nearly 1,200 Iranians and almost 30 Israelis.
