The warning comes after the first deaths were reported in western Iran on Saturday.

The president had issued a similar caution to Tehran on Friday.

“Many reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with regime’s corruption & its squandering of the nation’s wealth to fund terrorism abroad,” Trump said in a tweet.

3. Oh gee thanks

What a champion of human rights we now have in Donald Trump. So we can now expect to have similar warnings issued to brutal dictators wielding power in the Phillipines and elsewhere? Russia perhaps?

9. As if Trump has even an iota of credibility in the area of human rights. Or any other area.

Everything that comes out of that little pursed anus of a mouth sounds like "blah, blah, blah" to me.
