06:56 Caller Daniel hopes to return to Iran in celebration of a positive outcome.
10:30 Caller Ali emphasises that this is a 'revolution' and Trump's words have give the protesters 'a boost'.
Hundreds of protesters have been killed so far and the country has been left without power for four days as a massive wave of unrest sweeps across the country.
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of Iran’s parliament, has said the nation is fighting a “four-front war”.
The term refers to an economic war, a psychological war, a “military war” with the US and Israel and a “war against terrorists."
However, the regime has also said it is also ready to negotiate with the US based on “mutual respect and interests."
“As I have said repeatedly, we are also ready for negotiations — but fair and dignified negotiations, from an equal position, with mutual respect and based on mutual interests,” Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Monday.
He added: “We do not want war, but we are completely prepared for it — even more prepared than before the previous war.”
