Iran Protests Enter Sixth Day as Trump Threatens Action and Tehran Warns Against Interference

A public warning from President Trump drew sharp rebuttals from senior Iranian advisers, elevating the unrest into a diplomatic standoff.

Overview

  • Demonstrations continued overnight in Tehran and multiple cities after a steep rial collapse and surging prices fueled the biggest unrest since 2022.
  • Rights group HRANA reports at least seven protesters killed, 33 wounded and 119 detained, while state-linked media cite about six deaths including a Basij volunteer and roughly 30 arrests.
  • Clashes were most intense in western and southwestern locales such as Lordegan, Azna and Kuhdasht, with footage showing fires, gunfire and funerals featuring anti-regime chants.
  • Trump said the United States would act if Iranian forces kill peaceful demonstrators, drawing warnings from Ali Larijani and Ali Shamkhani that foreign interference crosses a red line.
  • Argentina advised citizens against travel to Iran as authorities conducted arrests, kept emergency measures in place, and President Masoud Pezeshkian called the economic grievances legitimate.
