Published by: Gill Bikram

Iran-US Tensions Escalate Toward Potential War

Iran has issued a direct ultimatum to America amid rising fears of full-scale conflict, centered on threats to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s security.

Iran’s War Ultimatum to US
President Masoud Pezeshkian warned via platform X that any attack on Khamenei would be deemed an “act of war,” triggering Iran’s full-scale military response. He blamed US sanctions for Iran’s economic woes and public hardships.

Protests Turn Deadly
Anti-economic protests since December 28 have turned violent. Khamenei admitted “thousands” died; rights groups estimate 3,766-5,000 fatalities. Around 24,348 protesters face arrest.

Trump’s Stance and US Position
President Donald Trump openly backed demonstrators, calling for “new leadership” in Iran. America claims Iran plots attacks on its bases, keeping all military options open. Trump threatened harsh action if Iran continues lethal force against protesters.

Iran Rejects Allegations
Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei denied any attack plans, accusing America of fabricating threats to heighten regional tensions. Iran alleges US-Israel orchestration of the unrest.

Broader Implications
The crisis has evolved from internal protests to direct military confrontation risk between the powers. Global markets already reflect this through surging gold and silver prices.
