Donald Trump has urged protesters in Iran to rise up as it emerges more than 2,000 people have been killed so far.

With protesters facing execution in the coming days, some Iranians have been calling for the US President to intervene brandishing ‘Trump Help’ signs.

That figure dwarfs the death toll from any other round of protest or unrest in Iran in decades and recalls the chaos surrounding the country’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.
