At least seven people have died in Iran amid protests, sparked by the country's ailing economy, which began last weekend as business owners vented frustration over dire economic conditions in the Islamic Republic. Images from Tehran and other cities posted on social media earlier this week show protesters marching through the streets, often chanting anti-government, pro-monarchy slogans and sometimes clashing violently with security forces. President Trump warned Friday in a social media post that if Iran "violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue." #iran #protests #news
