Trump warns US will take very strong action if Iran executes protesters amid violent crackdown

President Donald Trump has sternly posited that the United States will take very strong action against Iran if it executes protesters, after earlier telling Iranians help is on the way.
It comes as relatives of 26-year-old Erfan Soltani, who was detained last week, said he was due to be executed today, tallying with over 2,400 anti-government demonstrators who have been killed in a violent crackdown by Iranian authorities.
Recall that Trump had earlier announced 25% tariffs on any country trading with Iran. However, Iran’s government has accused the US of seeking to manufacture a pretext for military intervention, warning that the move will fail.
