Iran Foreign Minister Criticizes Trump’s Warning on Protests

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, criticized Donald Trump’s warning of US intervention if peaceful protesters are harmed in Iran, calling it “reckless and dangerous.” Trump stated that the US is “locked and loaded” to support demonstrators amid protests over the economy, which have resulted in at least eight deaths. Protests, sparked by a sharp decline in the rial’s value, have spread across various cities, with clashes reported between demonstrators and security forces. Iranian officials have vowed to reject foreign interference and maintain order, while also acknowledging the protesters’ grievances.
