Trump issues warning to Iran over treatment of protesters

Donald Trump has issued a warning that the US military is prepared to intervene if Iran violently suppresses ongoing protests over economic issues, which have reportedly resulted in at least five deaths. The protests, described as Iran’s “Tiananmen moment,” are calling for an end to the Supreme Leader’s rule and even the return of the monarchy. Amid heavy police presence and clashes, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has stated his government will address the protesters’ legitimate demands. Protests have erupted in various cities, with participants chanting support for the former monarchy as tensions escalate.
