Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for supporting Iranian protesters. In a speech on Saturday, Khamenei accused Trump of encouraging unrest and labeled him a "criminal." He said the protests, which began on December 28, resulted in thousands of deaths.

The family of a 23-year-old Iranian college student believes she was killed by a bullet fired by Iranian security forces. Robina Aminian's relatives say the family had to search through bloodied corpses to find her and rushed out with her body because they feared authorities would demand payment to release her body. The family buried Aminian hastily in an unmarked pit. Aminian was studying fashion in Tehran. She is one of thousands reportedly killed since protests began in December. Her family says she wasn’t an activist and just joined in a protest. Iran's mission to the United Nations did not respond to questions about her death.
