“Iran is looking at FREEDOM, perhaps like never before,” Mr. Trump wrote on social media on Saturday. Iranian officials have threatened to crack down on the demonstrations, and dozens of protesters have been killed, according to human rights groups. Mr. Trump is considering attacking Iran again little more than six months after he ordered strikes against three of its nuclear sites last June. Late last month, Mr. Trump met with Mr. Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago, his private club in Florida, and discussed Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Mr. Trump has ordered airstrikes across the globe since the start of his second term nearly a year ago.
