Secretary of State Mike Pompeo urged Iranians to continue sending messages exposing the Iranian regime’s brutal crackdown on recent widespread protests that have killed, by some estimates, more than 200 people. He said the United States would impose sanctions on those it could identify for perpetrating abuses.
“The Iranian people are, once again, on the streets because of the regime’s poor economic management,” Pompeo said in remarks to the press at the State Department today. “Instead of addressing their grievances, Tehran has responded with violence and by blaming those outside of the country.”
