Iran's FM Calls Trump's Threat of Intervention 'Reckless and Dangerous'

Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, condemned former US President Donald Trump's threat of potential military intervention should protesters be killed in Iran. Araghchi described the threat as “reckless and dangerous,” emphasizing it was influenced by those opposed to diplomacy. He also warned against the unacceptable nature of criminal attacks on public property, while acknowledging the economic demands of the protesters. Iranian police spokesperson, Saeed Montazeralmahdi, stated that the police understand the concerns of the people but will not tolerate chaos. Trump's statement was made via the Truth Social platform, where he threatened the US would “save” protesters if Iranian authorities used violence against them.
