President
Donald Trump has called on the Iranian regime to allow human rights groups to monitor
protests in the Islamic Republic in the aftermath of the regime acknowledging that it mistakenly shot down a Ukrainian airliner earlier this week.
Via
Twitter, Trump expressed his support of the “brave, long-suffering people” of
Iran on Saturday after hundreds gathered at universities in Tehran to protest the government’s belated acknowledgement of errantly
shooting down the plane, killing all 176 passengers aboard.
The
protesters demanded officials involved in the
missile attack be removed from their positions and tried.
