CNN Reporter: Speaking to an Iranian activist today, who was telling me that those huge protests that we saw last Thursday, were because a lot of people felt emboldened by President Trump's comments that they felt they had the US's protection.

He said their only hope right now to stop the carnage is President Trump, if he does nothing, he fears the situation is going to be even more catastrophic.

]Erin Burnett: 
Shamana, thank you very much, and I want to go out front now to Kareem Saj Japur, expert on Iran, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

What she reported there is pretty incredible. In this moment, that she's saying, and obviously, you know, she's saying she's talking to one person, but the importance of Trump's words, right?

That the protesters are doing this, this person said because they believe that Trump will have their backs. 
I mean, is that really the fuel?

Kareem Saj Japu: Aaron, I counted today that on 7 occasions over the last 2 weeks, President Trump has threatened to take military action against Iran if it killed peaceful protesters. And that was over 2000 deaths ago, that President Trump said that. 
So I do think that many took his word seriously and are hoping for, at a minimum, an American shield to help protect them against this very brutal regime.
