US Considers Response to Iran Protests Amid Threats of Military Action and Sanctions

Amid widespread protests in Iran sparked by economic hardship and political grievances, US President Donald Trump has threatened military action and imposed additional tariffs on countries trading with Iran. While some analysts warn that US strikes could strengthen the Iranian regime by fueling nationalist sentiment, others highlight the complexity of intervention given regional dynamics and logistical challenges. Iranian officials emphasize foreign interference concerns, while surveys indicate significant domestic support for regime change. The situation remains volatile, with ongoing crackdowns and uncertain diplomatic prospects.
