He added that he had cancelled all meetings with Iranian officials until the \u201csenseless killing\u201d of protesters stopped.<br \/>His call to keep protesting comes a day after demonstrations had apparently subsided owing to the severity of the crackdown. Trump is still conferring with officials about the action he could take. But his words imply he will not be content with further economic pressure.<br \/>The US state department issued a warning Tuesday to US citizens currently in the country: \u201cLeave Iran now.\u201d<br \/>The <a href=\"https:\/\/ir.usembassy.gov\/iran-security-alert-land-border-crossings-january-12-2026\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">US virtual embassy for Iran<\/a> says citizens should \u201chave a plan for departing that does not rely on US government help\u201d and \u201cif safe to do so, consider departing Iran by land to Armenia or T\u00fcrkiye.\u201d<br \/>Trump said that there would be \u201cvery strong action\u201d if the regime hangs protesters. He did not elaborate on what that would mean.<br \/>Trump\u2019s new declaration of support may bolster the demonstrations, but it remains unclear if a show of force by the US can compel the Iranian regime to back down.
