Former US President Donald Trump has cancelled scheduled meetings with Iranian officials and issued a message of support to protesters in Iran, according to a PTI report.
The decision was announced amid ongoing unrest in Iran, with Trump stating that no engagement would take place with Iranian representatives under the current circumstances. In public remarks cited by PTI, he said he had chosen to halt discussions and instead direct attention to developments on the ground.
According to the report, Trump also addressed protesters in Iran, telling them that “help is on its way,” a statement that drew attention given the sensitive geopolitical context and ongoing tensions between Washington and Tehran.
PTI noted that Trump has previously adopted a hardline stance on Iran, including withdrawing the United States from the 2015 nuclear agreement during his presidency and imposing wide-ranging sanctions on the country.
The report said the comments have been viewed by analysts as consistent with Trump’s earlier positions on Iran and his support for public opposition movements against the Iranian leadership.
Iranian authorities have not publicly responded to Trump’s remarks, PTI reported, and there was no indication of any immediate diplomatic fallout linked to the statement.
The report did not specify whether the cancelled meetings were formal diplomatic engagements or informal discussions, nor did it outline any subsequent policy steps following Trump’s comments.
