Following President Donald Trump’s statement that the United States would intervene if Iran “violently kills peaceful protesters,” and his warning that Washington is “locked and loaded,” Tehran issued a sharp response.
Iran’s top security official, Ali Larijani, warned that any U.S. involvement would trigger “chaos across the entire region” and lead to “the destruction of American interests.” He added that Americans should “look after their soldiers,” claiming “it was Trump who started the adventurism.”
