Fox News
Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei calls President Donald Trump a "criminal" and accuses the U.S. of orchestrating protests that have reportedly left thousands dead.

The statement is the latest Iranian government rhetoric blaming the U.S. for contributing to instability in Iran, with Tehran singling out Trump as a central figure in what it calls foreign-driven unrest. The regime has also been pointing fingers at Israel. You can send tips to michael.dorgan@fox.com and follow him on Twitter @M_Dorgan.
Protests have raged in Iran since late December, initially over economic problems but rapidly expanding into widespread anti-regime demonstrations. Demonstrators have been met with severe crackdowns by security forces.
