Senator Lindsey Graham Urges Trump to Support Iran Protesters Amid Ongoing Demonstrations

Sen. Lindsey Graham urges President Trump to back Iran protesters amid crackdown causing at least 20 deaths and hundreds arrested, highlighting U.S. readiness to increase pressure.

  • On Monday, Sen. Lindsey Graham urged President Donald Trump to back Iran's protesters after flying back with the president on Air Force One and speaking on U.S. television.
  • Amid punishing U.S.-led 'snapback' sanctions, Iranian protesters have continued for their ninth day as economic hardships, including food insecurity, worsen.
  • Human rights monitors report shootings by Iranian security forces, with at least 20 people reported dead and hundreds arrested amid the crackdown.
  • President Donald Trump warned on Truth Social that `If Iran shots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue.`, after U.S. forces struck Iranian nuclear sites in 2025, marking a low point in relations.
  • Graham donned a `Make Iran Great Again` cap and said he hoped Trump would support protests, amid low U.S. public backing last year, while Maduro's capture fuels regional speculation.
