Iran’s supreme leader acknowledges thousands killed as Trump calls for new leadership: reports
Iran's supreme leader Khamenei reportedly acknowledges thousands died in recent protests for the first time, as death toll estimates reach over 3,000.
The regime may have been able to crush the latest wave of protests using its tried-and-tested playbook of repression. But the fundamental grievances animating protesters haven’t gone away.
Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has accused Donald Trump of being responsible for "casualties, damage and slander" in his country during recent protests.
U.S. ambassador warns Iran that President Donald Trump has "all options on table" to stop deadly crackdown on protests that have killed over 2,600 people.

Trump Calls for ‘New Leadership’ in Iran After Reading Social Media Posts By Supreme Leader
President Donald Trump has called for “new leadership” in Iran after reading a series of social media posts from the country’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, on Saturday, POLITICO reported.
An Iranian official in the region said on Sunday the authorities had verified at least 5,000 people had been killed in protests in Iran, including about 500 security personnel, blaming "terrorists and armed rioters" for killing "innocent Iranians".
President Trump thanks Iran for stopping mass executions and signals a step back from earlier suggestions of possible U.S. military action as protests continue.
The bloody reprisals against protesters are the culmination of decades in which the regime’s "propensity and ability to use violence" has only increased, analysts say.
