Iran Protests Escalate Amidst International Pressure and Potential US Military Action

Anti-government protests in Iran continue to escalate, resulting in dozens of deaths and hundreds of arrests. Authorities are violently suppressing the demonstrations, threatening participants with the death penalty. The Trump administration has expressed its support for the protesters, offering assistance and condemning the crackdown. Simultaneously, discussions are underway in Washington regarding potential military intervention, including airstrikes on Iranian targets, though no final decision has been made. Iran has cut off internet access and international phone calls in an attempt to limit information and control the situation.
