El Trumpo says that Iran has shut off the internet as protests get more violent.
Iran, the Number One State of Sponsored Terror with numerous violations of Human Rights occurring on an hourly basis, has now closed down the Internet so that peaceful demonstrators cannot communicate. Not good!

The Hill reports that this happened earlier this weekend:
The president’s tweet comes after the Iranian government appeared to have moved to shut down the internet over the weekend.
The move was in response to a slew of protests against the country’s regime. The demonstrations have included calls for the removal of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Multiple deaths have been reported amid the protests.
Here’s the latest on the protests:
