Trump’s Warning Looms Over Iran Protests Response
Iran is facing widespread protests, but this time the authorities appear more cautious than usual in how they respond. According to BBC analysis, this restraint may be linked to a clear warning from former US President Donald Trump, who has threatened to intervene if protesters are violently suppressed.
In the past, Iranian security forces have acted quickly and harshly to crush unrest. However, the current response has been more measured, suggesting concern about international consequences — particularly from Washington.
Trump’s warning highlights how external pressure can influence a government’s internal actions, even in a country that often defies the West. It also shows how global politics can shape the outcome of domestic protests.
Whether this restraint will last remains uncertain, but for now, Trump’s message appears to be casting a long shadow over Tehran’s decisions.
