No evidence ties the protests to pleasing the US president. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/middle-east/iran-protests-latest-news-internet-blackout-b2897390.html https://apnews.com/article/54e4024a0b9e6a9f3ab49153c8e28f05 https://www.ft.com/content/0e1762e0-8aa6-44b5-977c-0865ecdcbb7d https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/08/iran-plunged-into-internet-blackout-as-protests-over-economy-spread-nationwide
