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

I have gotten some new information from a Mossad source. Yes, I am serious.
Choose to believe it or not, but remember that I was the first to insist Mossad isn't involved in this uprising until the last hour. I'm only passing on what I've heard.
• At least 50 murders as of an hour ago. However, Iranians have NOT left the streets and they're fighting. So far the massacres have not stopped, but it's a battle.
• The Mossad is active, but discreet. They're currently handing out Starlink dishes to Iranians and giving them vital info to stay safe.
• Mossad has uncovered that the IRGC stores supplies, weapons, water and food underneath mosques and shrines, many of whom are connected by tunnels. They're directing Iranians to target these.
• Currently, they are trying to locate Khamenei's exact location. I can't tell you if they plan an assassination, but they are working around the clock.
• Some regime figures are moving their families out of Iran. Regime FM Araghchi is in Lebanon under the pretence of a normal state visit, but his wife and children are also there. And they have no plans to leave.
I believe this source is very reliable, but please bear with me as I gather more info in these critical hours. Onward and upward, airforce

Tonight will mark 3 full days of complete blackout - which in 2026 should be considered a crime against humanity.
The islamic terrorist regime faces two big problems in doing this:
1) This is extremely costly to keep up and completely unsustainable. They know how desperate this makes them look. They know it's pathetic. It's a panic move from a death cult with zero long term planning.
2) Eventually the internet will HAVE to come back on again, and Iranian citizens are likely to be even angrier and more fired up from all the footage and atrocities they will see. And they'll organise again. Unlike in 2019, they aren't going to simply go about their day as if nothing happened.
Hell, I'm even seeing literal regime supporters yell at the mullahs for doing something so deliberately retarded and short sighted that will only infuriate the population more. Onward and upward, airforce

If you're on X and not following Nioh Berg, why not? Sent via Starlink:
"I barely managed to get temporary access to the internet amidst the chaos.
Here, it's truly hell. For us, it smells of victory, and for them, it reeks of the stench of overthrow, and they know it too.
Without exaggeration, this is what I've seen with my own eyes.
The videos you see, which barely make it through, might only be 20% of the reality at best. It's impossible to show the entire population.
The crowd is in the millions and astonishingly coordinated.
This morning, I went to the grocery store to buy a few things for home and asked how long they'd be open. They said 3 PM. "If we don't close, it's a betrayal"
Here, everyone is talking about the Shah. Everyone is brimming with energy. Let it reach the Shah's ears that since he said he's preparing to return to Iran, the people have gained momentous energy.
No one says anymore 'if it happens...' Everyone knows it's over. They're fighting with all their might just to make it happen sooner.
I say it again: In these past few nights, I haven't heard any slogan other than "Pahlavi will return", "long live the Shah", and "death to Khamenei". Everyone wants the Shah, don't let anyone claim that the people want anyone but the Shah!
The people have such unity as if they've been practicing for this time period for decades. If it was possible to show everything, you'd be witnessing by far the most magnificent revolution in history. I swear on this soil that I'm not exaggerating.
Tell the people abroad that we've seen your gatherings and we're proud of you. Tell them we kiss your hands. Tell them we know your hearts are with us, and know that our hearts are with you too. Tell them that the great work you're doing is no less than the battlefield we're on.
The revolution is a team project, and each of us must properly fulfill our duties. Without you, we won't win, so hold your heads high and keep going.
Victory for Iran and the world is just around the corner.
See you soon” Onward and upward, airforce

Looks like the violence has come to Los Angeles. I'd like to say I'm surprised, but...

More from Nioh Berg: I want to clarify something about my coverage, as well as an assessment of how I see the situation right now. World leaders, politicians, media people, and everyone else also, please read on.
First of all, yes I have seen the awful videos coming out of Iran, and no, I will not spread them. This is why:
They are fighting for their lives right now. It's a war. There are MANY casualties on both the good and evil sides, but Iranians are experiencing great achievements and are inflicting massive damage on the regime for the first time.
The regime is panicking and cutting off all communication because unlike ever before, the killings are not one sided. Iranians were even able to find regime figures' home addresses and take them out there. That's why even landlines and electricity are cut off. They are so outnumbered that they imported Arabs and Afghans to kill people. These are trained terrorists, yet people are fighting them with shovels and slingshots - and having victories. Iran is a battlefield, a warzone in the total darkness.
I receive many Starlink messages of insane acts of bravery and regime defeat. Yes, our casualties are high, but like I said, Iran is a warzone now. And the people there understand this. There is no going back, they understand the stakes.
People inside Iran are tired and unarmed, yes, but they are also HOPEFUL and OPTIMISTIC. I worry that when they regain internet connectivity and see nothing but a visual slaughterhouse of their countrymen, they might go home and become demoralised.
I refuse to be someone who scaremongers towards my own people at a time when the battles are still going on. The time for me to share this footage is after we win or after we lose - not while they're risking their lives fighting.
Again, reporting on casualties and atrocities is completely fine. Everyone is welcome to cover this uprising as they wish and I won't judge you for it, but this is my own mindset.
Iran is in a very critical and sensitive time. It's crucial for everyone to push for the final battle to be won, and my role is to encourage and bring up our fighting spirit. I will not manifest another November 2019.
However, the people inside Iran still need outside intervention for the final push to liberate the country, and to this end, I will do my best to make sure world leaders listen and act as they promised - especially Trump. It's getting bloody over there. Onward and upward, airforce

Musk just keeps winning. Iran just ran the most sophisticated electronic warfare campaign ever deployed against a commercial satellite constellation. They succeeded. And it didn't matter. Here's the physics they missed: The regime spent $300 million on Russian Krasukha-4 jammers. Achieved 30-80% packet loss nationwide. Made video calls impossible. Made streaming unwatchable. Made commercial internet useless. On January 8, Crown Prince Pahlavi said: "8 PM tonight. Chant together. Wherever you are." At 8 PM, neighborhoods across Tehran erupted simultaneously. 31 provinces. 185 cities. The most coordinated uprising in 45 years. The generals optimized for the wrong variable. Netflix requires 5-25 megabits per second of continuous throughput. Revolution requires 1.3 kilobits. Once. A single protest instruction compresses to less storage than one pixel of video. It doesn't need real-time delivery. It can queue, retry, relay through whatever windows the jamming leaves open. TCP/IP guarantees eventual delivery. At 80% packet loss, messages take 5 attempts instead of 1. The message still arrives. Iran built a $300 million system to deny Netflix. They couldn't deny revolution. This is the hard floor of the digital age: the bandwidth required for coordination is 10,000x smaller than the bandwidth required for commerce. Autocracy has a throughput problem that physics cannot solve. The night they tried to kill the sky, they discovered the sky had already won.
