"We certainly stand by anybody who is engaged in peaceful protests, anybody who is trying to exert their rights of free association and to have their voices heard," US Vice President JD Vance told reporters on Thursday.
"Obviously, the Iranian regime has a lot of problems, as the President of the United States has said, the smartest thing for them to have done, it was true two months ago, it's true today, is for them to actually have a real negotiation with the United States about what we need to see when it comes to their nuclear program," Vance added.
"I'll let the President speak to what we're going to do in the future. But we certainly stand with anybody across the world, including the Iranian people, who are advocating for their rights."
