President Donald Trump slammed Iran on Monday, accusing the regime of killing Americans with roadside bombs and hanging protesters from cranes.
“They wanted me to guarantee that we won’t kill them like we killed the others,” Trump said of the Iranian regime.
“And you know why? Because they’ve killed a lot of Americans with their roadside bombs over the years,” Trump said during remarks in Kansas.
“Soleimani was killed. You know Soleimani by me in the first term, Soleimani was killed,” Trump said, referring to Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2020.
“But they did a lot of a lot of killing. They did a lot of killing. And by the way, in the last eight months, they’ve killed 75,000 minimum protesters,” Trump said.
“Somebody said, I wonder why they don’t protest. Well, well, it’s a little hard when you got machine guns at the end of the street shooting you down,” he continued.
“They hang them by cranes. They hang up by cranes for all to see. A very, sad thing. Rough group,” Trump added.
