US congressman supports Iranian protesters, criticizes Trump

Democratic Representative Greg Stanton said he stands with Iranians protesting their regime but warned that President Trump's impulses aid crackdowns.

“I stand with Iranians peacefully rising up against a brutal, corrupt Tehran collapsing under its own isolating incompetence,” the Arizona House member posted on X on Friday.

“The regime clings to power with violence and propaganda -- made easier when Trump acts on impulse and gives them an excuse to crack down even harder and threaten Israel.”
