💨 Abstract

Iran's foreign minister accused the U.S. of seeking an excuse to intervene amid violent protests. Over 500 protesters have been killed by government forces. Trump is considering military options, but experts warn this could backfire, uniting Iranians against U.S. intervention. The Iranian regime is already repressing protests, and U.S. strikes might deepen internal fractures rather than strengthen the regime.
