Iran Warns US Against Intervention in Protests

Iran has warned the United States against intervening in the ongoing protests, emphasizing that such a move could destabilize the entire region. This warning came in response to Donald Trump's statement that the US could intervene to “help” protesters if authorities resort to violence. The protests in Iran began as a reaction to the rising cost of living but have expanded into broader political demands. Clashes between protesters and security forces have already been reported, with at least six deaths in western Iran. Other advisors to the Supreme Leader of Iran have also stated that any US intervention would be considered a “red line” and met with retaliation.
