Former U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States could intervene to “support peaceful protesters” in Iran if they are subjected to what he described as “excessive violence” by the authorities. The remarks were made in a post published on Friday on his social media platform Truth Social.
In his post, Trump stated that his country is “ready and prepared to intervene” should peaceful protesters be targeted, against the backdrop of social protests that Iran has been experiencing for several days. The demonstrations are linked to deteriorating living conditions and rising costs of living, according to international media reports.
These statements come amid heightened tensions following clashes between protesters and security forces in certain Iranian areas, which—according to media reports—resulted in casualties. These incidents are described as the first of their kind since the latest wave of protests began.
In the same context, Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reported on Thursday that 30 people were arrested in the capital, Tehran, on suspicion of “disrupting public order,” noting that authorities had not recorded official incidents in the capital in recent days.
According to available information, the protests began last Sunday in Tehran after a number of merchants closed their shops in protest against high inflation and economic stagnation, before the movement spread to universities and other cities across the country.
Observers are closely monitoring developments amid diverging international positions regarding events in Iran, and in anticipation of how these statements may affect the course of the protests and relations between Tehran and Washington.
