US President warns Tehran of direct action.
The American president has openly warned Iran, stating that the United States is ready to intervene if violent attacks against peaceful citizens continue. This declaration comes as Iran reveals the deep roots of international conspiracies aimed at toppling Khamenei, arresting seven individuals allegedly collaborating with hostile organizations in the United States and Europe. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has issued a warning of blunt military intervention if attacks against "peaceful protesters," as he describes them, do not cease, with Tehran responding that potential American involvement will destabilize the entire Middle East. With alleged plans to restore the autocratic Pahlavi regime and install a puppet government, the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence emphasizes that the country is in a constant state of alert to protect its national security.
Trump’s warning of blunt intervention in Iran
In a post on Truth Social, the American president openly warned Iran, stating that the U.S. is prepared to intervene if violent attacks against peaceful civilians persist. This statement causes international relations tension to skyrocket, leaving the citizens of Tehran in the eye of the storm. "If Iran shoots and violently kills peaceful protesters, as it is accustomed to doing, the United States of America will rush to save them. We are armed and ready for action," Trump said in his post. The Iranian news agency Fars previously reported that several people have already lost their lives in the protests that began earlier this week in the capital, Tehran, before spreading to other regions of Iran.
Tough response from Iran
The Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, Ali Larijani, sent a clear message that any U.S. intervention in Iran's internal affairs will lead to the destabilization of the entire region. "With the statements from Israeli officials and Donald Trump, what was happening behind the scenes has now become clear," Larijani remarked in a post on the X platform. He emphasized that the government distinguishes the stance of protesting shopkeepers from the actions of destabilizing factors, and noted that Trump must realize that U.S. interference in this internal matter would signify the destabilization of the entire region and the destruction of American interests. Addressing American citizens, he also claimed it was U.S. President Donald Trump who "started this adventurism" and urged them to consider the "safety of their soldiers."
The dark plan to overthrow Khamenei
Five of the detainees were in contact with the leader of anti-Iranian monarchist organizations operating in the U.S. These groups, with decades of Western and Israeli support, seek to restore Shah Reza Pahlavi to power, capitalizing on the destabilization caused by U.S. and Israeli military action. The Intelligence Ministry reports that it had already neutralized plans for the establishment of a "puppet government."
European connections and smuggled weapons
The other two detainees reportedly had ties to anti-revolutionary organizations in Europe. Simultaneously, 100 smuggled weapons, imported disguised as commercial goods, were seized. Those involved in the trafficking were immediately arrested. Iran emphasizes that it continues to monitor and suppress every foreign effort at destabilization, placing the protection of the regime and national security at the highest priority.
Controlled unrest
At least six people were killed yesterday, Thursday, in clashes that broke out between protesters and security forces in western Iran, according to an Iranian news agency. These are the first reported deaths since the start of the mobilizations five days ago against the rising cost of living. Among the dead is a member of the Basij, a militia linked to the Revolutionary Guards. Furthermore, thirty people accused of "disturbing public order" were arrested in Tehran, according to the Tasnim agency, despite the fact that authorities had not reported incidents in the Iranian capital in recent days. The protests began Sunday in Tehran, where merchants closed their shops to protest rising inflation and the economic recession. The movement then spread to universities and the rest of the country. Yesterday, Thursday, incidents were reported in various cities across Iran. For now, these demonstrations do not compare to the movement that shook Iran in 2022 following the death of Mahsa Amini, a young Iranian woman who died after her violent arrest by the morality police for not wearing her hijab correctly. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called on his government yesterday to take action. "From an Islamic perspective, if we do not solve the people's livelihood problem, we will end up in hell," he stressed in a televised address.
