Trump Warns US Will Intervene if Iran Violently Suppresses Protests

Former US President Donald Trump has warned that the United States will intervene militarily in Iran if the regime violently suppresses protests. This statement was made through a post on Truth Social, where Trump stated that the US is “ready for action and ready to go.” Protests in Iran have escalated in recent days, starting from the economic crisis and high cost of living, but are expanding to broader accusations of corruption and mismanagement by the theocratic government. Deaths of protesters have already been reported, while the mobilizations have spread to at least ten universities in Tehran and other cities. Protesters are chanting slogans against Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and expressing support for exiled Prince Reza Pahlavi.
