Trump Reiterates Possible US Military Intervention In Iran If It Targets Protesters

Tehran, Iran: US President Donald Trump has threatened Iran with a potential US attack if Iran targets protesters, which the country has been witnessing for the past few weeks. Demonstrations are spreading across the country, which has not entered its 12th day, shouting slogans against the West Asian country’s leadership.

The protesters are flagging issues such as inflation and economic crises, stemming from the American and European sanctions against Iran. Authorities in Iran have cut off access to the internet in an attempt to suppress the protest.

However, the US president warned that he would intervene if the Iranian government targets protesters, and has reiterated the threat several times.
