"You know, they're starting to, it looks like, and there seem to be some people killed that aren't supposed to be killed. These are violent, if you call them leaders, I don't know if they're leaders or just they rule through violence, but we're looking at it very seriously. The military is looking at it and we're looking at some very strong options. We'll make a determination."
"The remarks come as the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reported that at least 538 people have been killed in protest-related violence, including 490 demonstrators, with more than 10,600 arrests. A separate monitor, Iran Human Rights, based in Norway, said at least 192 protesters had been killed. Both groups cautioned that the figures are likely undercounts due to a sweeping internet blackout imposed by Iranian authorities."
President Donald Trump warned he was considering very strong options against Iran after human rights groups said security forces had killed protesters. He indicated Iran may be nearing a previously cited red line by killing demonstrators and said the military was reviewing options. Trump said Iran's leadership had reached out seeking negotiations and that a meeting was being arranged, but he warned the United States might have to act before any meeting. Human rights monitors reported hundreds killed and thousands arrested, and cautioned figures are likely undercounts because of a sweeping internet blackout.
