Trump to Iran: "Don't Kill Protesters." Iran Warns U.S. Bases Are "Legitimate Targets"

President Donald Trump has issued a direct warning to Iran's government not to use lethal force against its own citizens. The message comes amid widespread anti-government protests across the country. In response, senior Iranian officials accused the United States and Israel of inciting the unrest. They stated that American military bases in the Middle East are now considered "legitimate targets." The exchange sharply raises tensions between the two nations. Trump has publicly supported the protesters, while Iran has told the U.S. to not interfere in its internal affairs.
