Trump Warns of U.S. Action if Iran Executes Protesters

U.S. President Donald Trump has warned Iran against executing protesters arrested during recent anti-government demonstrations. In an interview with CBS News, Trump said he had not heard reports of planned hangings. But he issued a clear threat, stating, "If they hang them, you're going to see some things." The president did not specify what measures the United States might take. His phrase "you're going to see some things" suggests a significant U.S. response. The warning follows widespread protests in Iran over economic conditions and governance. Iranian authorities have acknowledged thousands of arrests and some deaths during the unrest. International human rights groups have expressed alarm over reports that some detainees could face the death penalty. Iran has a high rate of executions, often by hanging.
