US Support for Iranian Protesters and Another Warning from Trump

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed the United States' support for the people of Iran amid ongoing protests for 14 days and the internet shutdown. President Trump again warned Iranian authorities of potential retaliation if violence is used against protesters, stating that the US will respond “very, very strongly.” The protests continue in cities like Tehran despite the lack of internet access, with thousands of citizens participating according to videos circulating on social media. The situation remains tense, and the international community is closely monitoring developments. Trump’s warning echoes previous statements, indicating the US readiness to intervene, although he clarifies that this does not necessarily imply military intervention. Instead, he refers to strong responses that will target Iran’s interests. The US support for the Iranian people and warnings to the government highlight growing concerns about the human rights situation and the potential for escalation of violence in Iran.
