US EditionTrump says U.S. will intervene if Iran ‘violently kills’ protestors
Trump warned of U.S. intervention if Iranian forces kill peaceful protesters amid widespread unrest fueled by economic crisis, with at least seven deaths reported, according to human rights groups.
- 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.
- Shopkeepers in Tehran went on strike on Dec 28 over high prices and economic stagnation, as the rial plunged to 1.42 million rials per dollar and December food prices rose 72% with medical supplies up 50%, government statistics show.
- Security forces used tear gas and detained demonstrators, with BBC and human rights groups reporting six killed in clashes and footage showing fires and roadblocks in Tehran, Lordegan and other cities.
- Ali Larijani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, warned shortly that U.S. interference would destabilize the region and harm American interests, while Trump did not specify what U.S. intervention would entail.
- This escalation follows prior military actions and growing public anger as the standoff follows U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran's enrichment sites in June and Iran's retaliation; these demonstrations are the largest since the 2022 protests after Mahsa Amini.
