Trump Warns Iran Against Killing Protesters, Threatens Intervention

US President Donald Trump warned Iran against killing peaceful protesters, stating that Washington is prepared to intervene to "save" them. This warning drew an immediate response from a senior advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, who cautioned about potential chaos in the Middle East should the US intervene. The protests in Iran have already resulted in at least eight deaths, sparked by deteriorating economic conditions. Trump referenced previous US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and Iran's retaliatory missile attack on a US base in Qatar, emphasizing US resolve.
