WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump on Thursday again threatened to strike Iran "very hard" if its government starts killing protesters.
"I made it clear to them that if they start killing people… we will hit them very hard," Trump said in an interview with the conservative "Hugh Hewitt Show."
D. Trump and other senior US officials have warned several times in recent days that Washington will not stand by if Tehran starts killing peaceful protesters.
On Wednesday, Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned the Trump administration's "interventionist and misleading" statements about the current unrest in the country, adding that such statements reflect Washington's continued hostility toward the Iranian people.
US comments on Iran's internal affairs are part of a long-standing policy of pressure and interference, rather than genuine concern for the well-being of Iranians, the Foreign Ministry emphasized.
