If Trump Strikes Iran Protests, Khamenei’s Aide Warns: “Catastrophe Awaits”

Iran issued a direct warning to Donald Trump amid violent economic protests: any US interference will trigger regional catastrophe. A senior advisor to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei stated Friday that American meddling would spread chaos across the Middle East.

Trump’s Ultimatum

Trump threatened on Truth Social: America won’t stand by if peaceful protesters are shot or killed. “We’re fully prepared to intervene,” he posted, as clashes killed at least seven on Thursday.

Escalating Protests: Largest Since 2022

  • Spread: Protests, fueled by dire economy, exploded from Tehran to provinces; Wednesday-Thursday saw deaths in five cities, dominated by Lur ethnicity.

  • Violence: Heaviest in Lorestan’s Azna—social media shows burning streets and gunfire. Seven confirmed dead in security forces-protester clashes.

  • Context: Biggest unrest since 2022 Mahsa Amini protests after her death in custody.

Iran’s regime shows no leniency, but demonstrators remain defiant.
