Donald Trump warns of 'very strong action' if Iran executes protesters | BBC News

President Donald Trump has said the US will take “very strong action” against Iran if it executes protesters.

It comes as relatives of 26-year-old Erfan Soltani, who was detained last week, told BBC Persian he is due to be executed today.

More than 2,400 anti-government demonstrators have been killed in a violent crackdown by Iranian authorities, according to a US-based rights group.

Trump has been weighing military and other options in response, while Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned his country will defend itself against “evil and foreign interference”.
