Tehran's Harsh Response to Trump: "We Will Cut Off the Hand That Interferes" in Iran

Tehran issued a harsh warning to former US President Donald Trump following his statements about possible intervention in the protests taking place in Iran. Iranian officials warned that any foreign intervention would be met with determination, using the phrase “the hand that attempts to interfere will be cut off.” This response came after Trump’s post on social media, in which he stated that the United States is ready to act in the event of a violent crackdown on protests. The protests in Iran have begun due to the high cost of living and have spread to at least ten universities in Tehran and other cities, with protesters demanding regime change and denouncing corruption and mismanagement.
