Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called US President Donald Trump's promise to intervene in Iranian protests "reckless and dangerous." Trump had tweeted, "We are locked and loaded and ready to go," warning Iran against killing peaceful protesters and saying Washington "will come to their rescue." Araghchi responded on X saying, "Given President Trump's deployment of the National Guard within US borders, he of all people should know that criminal attacks on public property cannot be tolerated." He added that Iran would "forcefully reject any interference in their internal affairs." Meanwhile, Iranian police said they will not allow "enemies" to turn "unrest into chaos." At least eight people have died in the week-long protests across Iran, including clashes in cities like Lordegan, Azna, Kouhdasht, Fuladshahr, and Marvdasht. The protests began with shopkeepers angered by the Iranian currency's drop against the US dollar and spread to university students and multiple cities. Protesters have been chanting against Iran’s clerical rulers. While President Masoud Pezeshkian promised to listen to "legitimate demands," Prosecutor-General Mohammad Movahedi-Azad warned of a "decisive response" to any attempt to create instability. Iran's UN Ambassador Amir-Saeid Iravani called on the UN Security Council to condemn Trump's statements, stating the US "bears full responsibility" for any consequences from these "unlawful threats."
