Washington: U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that the United States will respond strongly if Iranian authorities carry out the hanging of protesters during the ongoing unrest in Iran.

In an interview with a television channel, President Trump said that Washington would take very strong action if Tehran goes ahead with executions of protesters. He stressed that such actions would not be tolerated by the United States.

Earlier, in a social media post, Trump said that help is on the way for Iranian protesters. He added that the exact scale of the violence and bloodshed in Iran is still unclear and that he is waiting for a detailed briefing on the situation.
