US EditionTrump says U.S. will intervene if Iran ‘violently kills’ protestors
Trump warned of U.S. intervention if Iranian authorities kill peaceful protesters amid economic protests marked by over 40% inflation and multiple fatalities, officials said.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump warned on Truth Social the U.S. would intervene if Iran violently kills peaceful protesters, adding, `We are locked and loaded and ready to go`, Trump said.
