White House warns Iran will 'get hit very hard' if it kills protesters

A White House official said on background on Wednesday that the United States will respond with force if Iran violently kills peaceful protesters, citing recent military operations as evidence of the Trump administration's resolve.

"The President has been clear: If Iran shoots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, they will get hit very hard," the official told Iran International.

"The President has demonstrated with Operation Midnight Hammer and Operation Absolute Resolve that he means what he says," the official added.
