And by the way, in the last eight months, they've killed 75,000 minimum protesters." Trump added that the Iranian regime hangs people it kills from cranes "for all to see." He also alleged that his request to NATO allies for help in the US war against Iran was a test, stating, "When we ask for help and Iran help, which we didn't need, we didn't need - but I wanted to, I was testing, I wanted to find out."
