Iran’s Leader Calls Trump a ‘Criminal’

“Iran’s leader called President Trump a criminal responsible for the deaths of protesters during the latest unrest in the country, stepping up the rhetoric at a time when Trump has set aside the use of military force for now but hasn’t taken it completely off the table,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The comments come as the Iranian government is expressing greater confidence that it has won this clash with its opponents after cowing protesters with a bloody crackdown estimated to have left thousands dead. In addition to the tougher tone, the government has signaled it will gradually restore internet access after shutting it down for more than a week, a sign it feels better about its control of the streets.”
