Trump Threatens Iran with 'Very Hard Hit' as Protests Continue

Former US President Donald Trump has issued new threats to Iran, stating that he would meet the country with a 'very hard hit' if protesters are killed. These statements come amid ongoing protests in Iran, fueled by economic hardship, high inflation, and currency devaluation. Trump stated he is closely monitoring the situation and suggested that the US will not intervene directly in favor of specific actors. Simultaneously, clashes between special forces and Kurdish separatists in Kermanshah, explosions in Tehran, and internet access restrictions have been reported.
