Trump warned Iran not to shoot at protesters

US President Donald Trump announced on Friday that if Iranian security forces shoot at protesters, the US is ready to support them. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

Currently, protests continue in the western regions of Iran, resulting in several casualties. Iranian officials sharply rejected Trump's statement, emphasizing that such US interference could increase instability in the Middle East region.

Iran's representative to the UN called on the Security Council to condemn Trump's statements. The protests mainly began due to high inflation and economic problems.

In the western provinces, protesters clashed with police and government buildings, and in some places, cars and motorcycles were set on fire. So far, at least 10 people have died, and hundreds have been reported injured.

Trump's threat was announced following a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. At the same time, the Iranian government is taking measures to suppress the protests.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that he is ready to discuss the economic demands of the protesters.
