American President Donald Trump warned Iran that it will be "hit very hard" if protesters continue to be killed during the unrest that has lasted for more than a week. This statement was made in the context of the Iran Human Rights organization reporting that at least 19 protesters have been killed and hundreds have been injured or arrested. The protests, which began as a reaction to economic issues, quickly turned into criticism of the government and included calls for the restoration of the monarchy.
Trump promised the support of the United States for the protesters, stating that the U.S. is prepared to intervene. In recent days, the protests have spread to dozens of Iranian cities, and security forces have responded violently, using tear gas and gunfire. Additionally, the head of the Iranian police stated that targeted arrests of protest leaders have been made, suggesting external funding for them.
Iran is facing a severe economic crisis, with an annual inflation rate of over 42%, exacerbated by international sanctions. Protests continue, and the situation remains tense, with significant mobilization of the population against the regime.
