On December 28, a number of protests over economic problems broke out in several Iranian cities, but the gatherings turned violent when groups of participants, some of them armed, vandalized public property and launched attacks on police stations and government buildings.
Over a dozen people have been killed in the ensuing violence in Iran, according to state media reports.
In a series of tweets Trump has backed the protests. In its latest weekly publication, Al Nabaa, Daesh terrorist group alsodeclared support for the protests in Iran and said they should continue.
The Iranian foreign minister also said on Thursday the US presidents moves against the Iranian people belie his recent claim that he supports them.
Zarif took to Twitter to condemn Trumps latest claim of support for the Iranian people, saying Trump has an odd way of showing such respect for Iranians: from labeling them a terrorist nation & banning them from visiting the US, to petty insults on the name of the Persian Gulf.
