Trump Warns Iran: U.S. Will Act if Protesters Killed

President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Iran on Friday, stating the United States is prepared to intervene if the Iranian regime kills peaceful protesters. The warning was posted on the President's Truth Social platform. It comes amid reports of deadly clashes in Iran over a severe cost-of-living crisis. At least seven people have died in the unrest. Iranian state media says one of the dead was a volunteer member of the country's security forces. In his post, President Trump said the U.S. is "locked and loaded" to respond. He did not specify what form any potential U.S. action might take.
