Trump says U.S. will intervene if Iran starts killing protesters. He says we are locked and loaded. President Donald Trump warned early Friday that the U.S. would intervene if Iran started killing protesters.
Writing on Truth Social, the president said if Iran shoots and "violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue."
"We are locked and loaded and ready to go," Trump said.
Trump’s warning comes as demonstrations triggered by Iran’s deteriorating economy expand beyond the capital and raise concerns about a potential heavy-handed crackdown by security forces. At least seven people — including protesters and members of Iran’s security services — have been reported killed during clashes, according to international reporting.
Ali Larijani, a former parliament speaker who serves as the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, pushed back on Trump's post, writing on X that, "With the statements by Israeli officials and Donald Trump, what has been going on behind the scenes is now clear. We distinguish between the stance of the protesting shopkeepers and the actions of disruptive actors, and Trump should know that U.S. interference in this internal matter would mean destabilizing the entire region and destroying America’s interests."
"The American people should know — Trump started this adventurism. They should be mindful of their soldiers’ safety," Larijani added.
The threat came after Iran launched an attack on Al-Udeid, the American airbase in Qatar, in June 2025. The base is home to 10,000 American forces and is the U.S.’s largest military installation in the Middle East. Located southwest of Doha, it serves as a hub for logistical operations for the U.S. mission to fight ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
At the time, Iran vowed to retaliate against the U.S. after American B-2 bombers dropped 14 bunker buster bombs on three Iranian nuclear sites.
In the recent Iranian demonstrations, some of the most severe violence has been reported in western Iran, where videos circulating online appeared to show fires burning in streets and the sound of gunfire during nighttime protests.... I still don't think the Iranian monarchy will come back . But I sure ain't putting any money on it. Onward and upward, airforce

Here is Reza Pahlavi, the leader of the Iranian monarchy and, perhaps, the soon-to-be Shah of Iran. My fellow compatriots, I send greetings to each and every one of you who bravely kept Khamenei and his regime awake throughout the past week. In particular, I want to send greetings to the patriotic teenagers and youth of our country, whom I call "Generation V" for Victory.
As I said before, the key issue is the continuous seizure of the streets and the creation of barricades to prevent and obstruct the regime's repression.
Maintain discipline and solidarity. Victory belongs to you. Onward and upward, airforce

The ammonia that was secretly purchased from China for rocket fuel and stored under the guise of raw materials at the Kaleh company has gone up in smoke.
Fire officials have also confirmed the existence of the ammonia warehouse, and the provincial Security Council has ordered the evacuation of hospitals and homes in this area.
The best place to hide ammonia is in these ice cream companies that use ammonia for cooling and refrigeration. Onward and upward, airforce
