US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that anti-government protesters in Iran support him and the US, calling it "progress" that resulted from a US drone attack that killed a senior Iranian general.
Speaking to supporters at a rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Trump cited video that has circulated online purportedly showing Iranian protesters walking around a large US flag on the ground that they were apparently supposed to step on.

Trump used a profanity when describing the slain commander of Iran's Quds Force, Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, and said he had warned Iran's leader not to harm protesters.
Protests broke out in Iran after the government acknowledged that an Iranian missile had downed a Ukrainian airliner, killing 176 people.
