💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump warned Iran that the U.S. is "locked and loaded" if Iran's security forces violently kill peaceful protesters. This comes amid Iran's largest protests in three years, sparked by economic hardship and government mismanagement. The protests, which began with shopkeepers, have spread across multiple provinces, with clashes between protesters and security forces. Iran's economy has been struggling since the U.S. reimposed sanctions in 2018.
