US State Department says Trump watching Iran protests 'incredibly closely'
"The President spoke to this. He's been very clear. He's monitoring the situation incredibly closely, getting near constant updates on the situation on the ground," State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott told Fox News on Monday.
"What we're seeing on the ground is the result of the justifiable anger of the Iranian people," he added. "You had a regime there who wasted their vast wealth on a nuclear weapons program, on missiles, on malign activities, on terrorist proxies, it ignored water, food and energy. So that's what we're seeing on the ground in Iran.
