Iran in Flames: Army Deployed to Suppress Protests

A wave of protests against the theocratic regime in Iran is escalating, with the death toll rising to 116 and over 2,600 arrests. The protests began as demonstrations against inflation but have spread to more than 100 cities, posing the biggest challenge to the regime in years. Iranian authorities are threatening to intensify repression, while the US states it is ready to help protesters and is even considering military intervention, with discussions about potential air strikes on Iranian military targets.
